Herbert Grönemeyer
Mensch (English Version, feat. Bono)
[Verse 1: Grönemeyer]
Every second has a reason
As the time slides away
Changing with the season
Just following the race
No need to be final
I put my thoughts on hold
Daydreams at the water
As the tide ebbs and flows

[Chorus: Grönemeyer, Bono & both]
And it’s all ok
I’ll take it day by day
This is summertime
There’s nothing on my mind
And a man’s called man
’Cause we forgive and understand
We forget and we deny
We’re losing, still we try
‘Cause we love
‘Cause we live
I miss you

[Verse 2: Grönemeyer, Bono & both]
Skies blue, wide and open
Not a shade or trace of grey
A telephone, gas, electric
Unpaid, what can I say
Let us share the silence
What on earth can occur
I am not looking for commitment
Just give me your word
[Chorus: Grönemeyer, Bono & both]

And it’s all ok
Take it day by day
This is summertime (summertime)
Nothing on my mind
And man’s called man
’Cause we forgive and understand (understand)
We forget and we deny
We’re losing, still we try
‘Cause we love
‘Cause we live
I miss you

Oh, ‘cause we love
We live

[Chorus: Grönemeyer, Bono & both]
Oh, it’s all ok
I take it day by day
This is summertime
Nothing on mind
And man’s called man
We forgive and understand
We dance into the storm
Keep hurt form our homes
‘Cause we are
‘Cause we live
I miss you
[Chorus: Grönemeyer, Bono & both]
Oh, it’s all ok
The pain’s fading away (I miss you)
This is summertime
Nothing on my mind
And man’s called man
We forgive and understand
We forget and we deny
We lose and still we try
‘Cause we are
‘Cause we live
I miss you

Oh, Cause we love
‘Cause we live
Miss you

[Outro: Grönemeyer, Bono & both]
Oh
Wo-oh-wo
Oh, oh (I miss you)

I miss you (I miss you)
Don‘t wanna say goodbye
You're man (I miss you)
You are man (I miss you)
Daylight (I miss you)
Sunlight
