May be art

[German Version]
Wenn Gott seine Hand über das Land schwingt,
wirft er Blautöne,
gab er uns allen ein Skript zum Lesen,
bei Kerzenlicht und silbernem Mond,
wenn Engel weinen und Sterne fallen,
wird der Dichter im Himmel über uns alle aufsteigen,
wenn der Himmel grau wird,
und all unsere Gefühle sich mit den Jahreszeiten ändern,
ergreife einen Topf voll Gold,
wenn Gottes Regenbögen seine Gründe offenbaren,

[English Version]
As God waves his hand across the land
He casts shades of blue
He gave us all a script to read
By candlelight and a silver moon
When angels weep and stars fall
The Poet in the sky will rise above us all
When the sky turns gray
And all our feelings change with the seasons
Seize hold of a pot of gold
As God's rainbows out His reasons
