The beauty

of nature

It's all just borrowed

Here on this beautiful Earth

It's all just borrowed

All the riches, all the money

It's all just borrowed

Every hour full of joy

When you have to leave some day

You will have to leave everything behind!

One sees a thousand beautiful things

And wishes this and that

Only what's good and what's expensive

People can enjoy nowadays

Everybody wants to have more

Even if he has to pay a lot

It's of nobody's use

It will all have to stay here!

Everybody has just one aim

To be someone better off

Works and gathers his whole life

But what will he earn for that?

All the goods of this Earth

That fate offers to you

Are only given to you for a time

And in the end of no worth

So live your lives

Look forward to the next day

Who on this globe knows

What tomorrow will bring?

Enjoy the small things

Not just possessions and money

It's all just borrowed

Here on this beautiful Earth!
