Die Reise English translation
von Max Giesinger

An old photo in my hand
From when we barely knew who we were
We spent five summers together
Till we all went our own ways

Tim is in Freiburg, Tobi in Berlin
Phillip is a laywer, only Hannah is still here
Manu tried to be a dancer, now he studies Business
The time goes by, in retrospect, so fast

So life goes on
And the new replaces the old
We're on a journey and whenever
We arrive, we arrive
We start over again, and almost give up
We trip and fall and pull ourselves up again
So life goes on and whenever
We arrive, we arrive


Was home for a while, wasn't here for awhile
Where stone on stone stands as before
The old street is almost like in those days
Yet so much has changed

Kathi has kids now, we barely have contact
Kolja is a social worker, and Mark didn't make it
Clemens is in France, still searching for happiness
And I'm playing my songs and thinking about you guys
And every has stories they like to share
The time goes by, in retrospect, so fast

So life goes on
And the new replaces the old
We're on a journey and whenever
We arrive, we arrive
We start over again, and almost give up
We trip and fall and pull ourselves up again
So life goes on and whenever
We arrive, we arrive

I'm playing my songs now and thinking back on you guys
On all our dreams and every moment
Doesn't matter were we end up, it all has a meaning
Where ever our journey goes


So life goes on
And the new replaces the old
We're on a journey and whenever
We arrive, we arrive
We start over again, and almost give up
We trip and fall and pull ourselves up again
So life goes on and whenever
We arrive, we arrive

An old photo in my hand
From when we barely knew who we were
