about

"One life" is a piece for orchestra and band, which I've originally written for the International Holocaust Remembrance Day in 2007.

In 2013 I rearranged the song for an orchestra and band and made a whole new recording.

You can download this track FOR WHATEVER PRICE IT'S WORTH TO YOU.

lyrics

Here myself is standing
A being that is real
With eyes to see and ears to hear
And skin that’s made to feel
But the crippled soul inside
Of the lucky man you see
Is tired of the one I have to be

Years of endless hours
Fed by fear and pain
Remind of shivering darkness
And hope that was in vain
All what I was living
Is gone – except my breath
Just one life, one story that is left…

I have heard their numbers
I have seen their eyes
I feel I could be one of them and it’s hard to live that price


I don’t know why I am living
While nothing’s left to live
A heavy load that I was given
Can’t tell if that’s a gift
So many lights that fade away
And I’m still glowing day by day
There are no words more left to say
I think I’ve lost them on my way

I have lost my shadow
when I stepped in winter’s light
Memories are burning
Ashes in the sky
And when I stand on new land
I will feel the seed
Buried in that soil beneath my feet

Growing as origin
Growing deep to last
Grow ‘til this will be the only root into my past

I don’t know why I am living
While nothing’s left to live
A heavy load that I was given
Can’t tell if that’s a gift
So many lights that fade away
And I’m still glowing day by day
There are no words more left to say
I think I’ve lost them on my way
