2. On the glacier that the
sun was burning
a day they waited in
front of the mountain
top

3. The old man’s sandwich

4. and the child’s toast

5. Tell me old man

6. you that
know a
thing or
two

7. to be a man

8. with the life
in his own
hands

9. Must I just eye

10. Must I just eye

11. or be able to
play, too?

12. or be able to
play, too?

13. The snow you can see
under your feet
Suddenly melts and let
you surprised
So things go when they
come from above.

14. If you spoke with
clearer words
the life that
grows in my own
hands would be
a race without
too many falls

15. The
rightness
you feel
inside you

16. nobody offers it
on a silver plate

17. You are the one
who must catch it

18. if you
want to
be happy

19. Is it really sad to
eat everyday

20. the dust arisen

21. from the
past of a
man?

22. If that is life…thank
you so much, good
man.

23. Sad the evening
and sad the setting

24. were coming down
the twos from the
high mountain

25. The old man’s sandwich
and the child’s toast

26. The end
