Who in their lifetime is good on earth
will become an angel after death
you look to heaven and ask
why you can not see them

only when the clouds have gone to sleep
can you see us in heaven
we are afraid and are alone
god knows i don't want to be an angel

they live behind the sunshine
separate from us an infinite distance
they must cling to the stars
so that they do not fall from heaven

only when the clouds have gone to sleep
can you see us in heaven
we are afraid and are alone
god knows i don't want to be an angel

only when the clouds have gone to sleep
can you see us in heaven
we are afraid and are alone
god knows i don't want to be an angel
