Forgiving (feat. Joëlle Pascale Lea) [Live in Stuttgart 29.12.2022]

Hey Grandpa, happy birthday, how have you been
Stolen childhood, you were trying to catch the wind
You learned how it burned, you learned how to hate
Darkness inside turned into fate

Oh, how should you know, how should you know
What you believed would be breaking?
How should you know, how could you cope
A whole generation mistaken
How should you know?
What did you know?

Dear Grandma, happy birthday, how have you been
Stolen childhood, you were caught by the wind
People hated you for what you were born
And you're singing to your baby, living in hell and storm
Surviving

How should you know, how should you know
How should you know, you'd be living
How should you know, how should you know
There is no way than forgiving
Oh, there's no other way
There's no way than forgiving

You went through darkest years of history
Happy birthday, it's now one century

How should you know, how should you know
Your streets would run side by side
I wish you had known, I wish you had known
The dark would turn into light

Oh, from dark into light
Hey Grandpa, hey Grandma, I wish you had known
From dark into light
From dark into light
