Werkraum - Song For Erik

You were always my friend
Since you entered this world
So many years ago.

The great moments together
In your youth that we shared,
Having all the laughter and fun that we dared,
Joking, running and playing as one.

You could take to the sky
If you just barely try,
Yet you hover so close to the earth.

But since our time on this earth
Is just a blink of the eye.
Think of what you're doing and ask yourself "Why?"
And seek the fortune your future can hold.

Who could have known
As you came to that fork in the road
Which path was the way to succeed.

For though you've chosen poorly
These past several years,
Leading or following some uniformed peers,
It can never be too late to change.

Though we've drifted apart,
You are still in my heart,
And my heart will never, ever let go.

But if you stay in this course,
That you've chosen to live,
Though you've exhausted everything I've hat to give
May the gods protect you from harm.
