Songtext CD "66"

You Are Imprisoned (Du bisch g'fange)  
Words + Musig Toni Vescoli
Translation: Eric St. Michaels

 
You are imprisoned, imprisoned in your own skin.
You are imprisoned, without any hope.
You are imprisoned, you are imprisoned

You are imprisoned, you feel like an embryo.
You are imprisoned, helpless somewhere.
You are imprisoned, you are imprisoned

    Imprisoned in an egg
    The shell is made of stone
    So near but yet so far
    You stretch but it doesn’t help

        You become bigger, bigger than you’ve ever been.
        You become bigger, the shell becomes too small.
        You become bigger, you become bigger.

            The shell has a crack
            You can easily push the stony walls away

            And you can fly, fly over the mountains and valleys.
            You can fly, into the sky and the universe.
            You can fly, you can fly.

But you are still imprisoned, it was all just a beautiful dream.
You are imprisoned, imprisoned in your life’s tree.
You are imprisoned, you are imprisoned.

    You can grow, grow out of your skin.
    You can grow, full of hope.
    You can grow, you can grow.

        You can grow, it just happens.
        Over the walls of your prison,
        With your nose to the wind,
        Starting again like a child.

            You will grow, you will grow, you will grow!
