Zywa Choose position

From position to position
silhouettes are turning around
in the circle of their existence
At times a bell sounds

Ting^ Ting^, pay^ heed^
to the reality behind you
Be careful, do not maintain anything
that only has costs

Ting^ Ting^
Wake up, don't drive your thoughts
around in the merry-go-round
of laziness and amusement

Ting^ Ting^, this is serious
It's about you and me
the meaning of our lives
What do you want? Think

not^ too^
long or too short, too emotionally
not too rationally and not far
into the past or future

and act
to your common sense
not as usual
from position to position

Ting^ Ting^
