lyrics

sit on my bench in the crowded city
look at the busy people with pity
they have no time to have a stand
always running with their mobiles in their hands

every day opens a new food line
to shorten their lunch time
they have no time to admire the nature
economy just formed a working creature

i‘m sitting on my bench all day
relaxing taking time just my way
i‘m not scared of any stress
and think they all should do less

the woman who sits next to me
tells me her story – i have to agree
she says that she comes here always alone
cause her man works on – to the bone

he has no time to take her out
not even time to think about
his company has to be bigger and faster
one day she‘s sure there will be a disaster

the trees, they do it alright
never have any fi ght
just standing there growing piece by piece
yes they live in freedom – in freedom and peace
