Lyrics
Translation: (The Stem)
I wish I were like the blade of grass
That sinks one foot under the earth
And stretches in the opposite direction
And grows against the roots
And rises breaking cement
And rises against gravity
And if a passerby steps on it
It keeps growing
Without thinking
It's so hard
I give up
I don't believe anymore
I don't want it anymore
I can't give anymore
Where are my wings?
I need them now
I think too much
And my thoughts don't help
The wild weed appears
Invited by no one
Cultivated by no one
Watered by no one but god
Teach me to be
Teach me to grow
And go on and on
Ignoring the difficulty
Teach me to see
Teach me to believe
And go on and on
Contemplating the beauty
