——
‘MARIA’ To everyone who has been hurt
Because there is someone they love
Looking around
Everyone seems to be in a hurry
Rushing off past me to someplace else
Once again, this year
Winter has arrived so quickly
Before anyone even realized
Today, surely, somewhere in this city
Two people will meet and look into each others’ eyes
And the curtains open violently
Even so, everything
Will surely, someday
Come to an end
Today, surely, somewhere in this city
Two people will choose the road of separation
And the curtains close silently
‘MARIA’ Because there is someone to love
Sometimes, the feeling of loneliness is strong
But because there is someone to love
Everything will be fulfilled in the end
‘MARIA’ Because there is someone to love
Sometimes, the injury goes deep, so deep
But because there is someone to love
Everything will be healed in the end
‘MARIA’ Everyone, everyone is crying
‘MARIA’ But we all want to believe
‘MARIA’ That’s why we are praying
That this will be our final love
Beginnings can happen without reason
But endings always come with one…
