When the world was woken 
Save all unknowing eyes 
And thoughts that once were spoken 
Left only to despise 
And when the dawn is breaking 
Look upward to the sky 
If life is so hard to live 
Why not die?  
When the world has woken 
And shadows leave the air 
Then each spell will be broken 
For everyone who cares 
The day will then be endless 
The night will soon pass by 
If life is so hard to live 
Why not die?  
 
When the world has woken 
For all who see the sun 
And gentle words are spoken 
The dawning has begun 
Then man can live together 
With one triumphant cry 
If life is so hard to live 
Why not die?
