Gone

by Benjamin Bächle

"Hey, where are you my good friend?

Surely you have traveled far.

Can you tell me where you went?

To which land and to which star?

A lot of wonders you must have seen!

A lot of people you must know!

In many places you must have been!

Many pictures you must have to show!"

"Surely, surely, you are right.

I have traveled, traveled a lot.

I've seen the darkness and the light

and now I'm in the land of God.

I will tell you a great story.

I will tell you where I went.

But not yet – I must say 'sorry' -

First life your story to the end."
