Everything

Everything I know
I know from someone else
Everything I don't do
I don't do because of someone else
Everything I own
is nothing but a name
and I got it from someone else

"Steffen" speaks the man
and I walk on
"Steffen" speaks the woman
and I hesitate
"Steffen" speaks the child
and I feel old
"Steffen" speaks the wind
and I feel cold

Everything I say
I say to someone else
And everything I give
I give to someone else
Everything I own
is nothing but a name
and I got it from someone else

The handshake I give
I give to someone else
And all the tears I cry
I cry for someone else
The lust I have
I have for someone else
And all the love I feel
is for someone else

Only my goose bumps
are my own
