Oliver Dürr – 1000 Candles

I just can’t believe, what happened today
two young people were killed in a school, the radioman said
used his fathers gun,now he’s on the run
inconceivable, what he has done

later the radioman says, fiveteen people are dead
three teachers, nine kids in the school, three people by escape
Now the story ends, surrounded by police,
there’s no way out, so he shot himself

Ref.

Thousands of candles are burning tonight, for all those who never come home
a candle for every tear that’s been cried by us all
In reverend remembrance we think of this day, of all those who never come home
In our memories, in our memories, we’ll keep them in our hearts

My heart breaks in two when I watch, the candles at night
So much letters and flowers are touched, by ambient light
A thousand people came,held each others hands
full of sympathy, full of pain

How can you handle your life, how can you go on
in one second your life has been changed, you need to be strong
We are close to you, share the pain with you
No matter what you do, you’re not alone, you’re not alone

Ref.

Thousands of candles are burning tonight, for all those who never come home
a candle for every tear that’s been cried by us all
In reverend remembrance we think of this day, of all those who never come home
In our memories, in our memories, we’ll keep them in our hearts

Ref. II

I just can’t believe
mad mission achieved
we missed to perceive
comitted to change something
comitted to care of what our childrens need
