Life Is A Long And Silent River

Ten more summers pleased the land
 Ten more winters numbed the landscape
 Time is running quickly
 But in my brain a terrible dream never ends
 I try to escape from my past
 I'm damned to suffer a whole life!
 Life is a long and silent river
 She grows up - shy, alone and sad
 Other kids - kept away from her
 Her mother - was divorced long ago
 No more love - only alcohol
 Life is a long and silent river
 No real friends - for the little girl
 Nobody understands - what's wrong with her
 Her classmates - cheat her all the time
 The silent girl - is discriminated against

 People are shouting at me
 "You stupid girl!
 How strange you are - never spoke!"
 I try to escape from my past
 I'm damned to suffer a whole life!
