there is a secret
the dumb and lost must share
being born gives you no right
to being here
you must fight for that right
until the very end
no one can help you
not even a friend
if you cannot live
there must be a reason why
try the advice of one who loves you
before you die
you can continue on your way
or take a detour
that is what forks in the road
are divided for
sometimes you are flying high
then are gone in a flash
do not wallow in the sluggish mud
to never make a splash
whether you find happiness or not
my secret is true
my secret is true
around every bend
it is only and always up to you
when the night is lonely
and there is nothing to be said
you must arise
find a different bed
when work is done
with nothing you can show
you must fight for your rights
or find a new place to go
if by fate a fatal illness
tries to take your time
there are still other options
to occupy your mind
if you have been slighted
by a wrong unrighted
take no revenge
but walk the road as i did
do not be denied
if justice makes you mighty
when you have listened
to your heart and friend tidy
change your longitude and latitude
do not prolong a failure
do not carry a defeated attitude
get out of the sour sea, sailor
always give God your gratitude
and live for making love
that is how it happens
with the grace from the Lord up above
