Lyrics:

[English]

When all the salt is taken from the sea

I stand dethroned, I'm naked and I bleed

But when your finger points so savagely

Is anybody there to believe in me

To hear my plea and take care of me?

How can I go on from day to day?

Who can make me strong in every way?

Where can I be safe, where can I belong?

In this great big world of sadness

How can I forget

Those beautiful dreams that we shared?

They're lost and they're nowhere to be found

How can I go on?

Sometimes I seem to tremble in the dark

I cannot see when people frighten me

I go, hide myself so far from the crowd

Is anybody there to comfort me?

Lord, take care of me

...

How can I go on from day to day?

Who can make me strong in every way?

Where can I be safe, where can I belong

In this great big world of sadness?

How can I forget

Those beautiful dreams that we shared?

They're lost and they're nowhere to be found

How can I go on?

...

How can I go on?

...

How can I go on?

Go on, go on, go on.

...
