Nine years ago you told me

What my life was meant to be

Your words were stuck in my mind

Like burned into the flesh

Years passed by

Time slipped through my fingers

Soon I realized

It was (just) too late for me

To seize the day

From time to time

My screams of despair

Receive an answer from above

And I wish for a better tomorrow

I'm crying

In disbelief I dwell

From day to day

Dark paths appear before me

It's hard to choose from bad alternatives

Years passed by

Time slipped through my fingers

Soon I realized

It was (just) too late for me

To seize the day

From time to time

My screams of despair

Receive an answer from above

And I wish for a better tomorrow

Nine years ago you told me

Your words were stuck in my mind

Time slipped through my fingers

Soon I realized

It was (just) too late for me

To seize the day

From time to time

My screams of despair

Receive an answer from above

And I wish for a better tomorrow

From time to time...

...seize the day

My screams of despair...

From time to time...I...

...seize the day
