When I was born my grandfather[00:00:01]
Held me in his warm hands[00:00:06]
And it seems though his eyes are teary [00:00:10]
But it’s hard to tell from an old photograph[00:00:14]
While my brother and sister danced[00:00:20]
At the feet of his tired and weathered frame[00:00:24]
He said there’s a light to this boy I’ve ever seen[00:00:30]
And there he gave me my name[00:00:36]
Well my grandfather was a sniper[00:00:41]
In the Red Army[00:00:47]
He never had any brothers in arms[00:00:52]
From the both side that stood enemy[00:00:56]
Will the cold and unbroken Will due to survive [00:01:00]
His steady hand took care[00:01:06]
And he drank just enough to keep him in a safe form[00:01:10]
For he never spoke his true name[00:01:15]
When I was a boy the summer was at house[00:01:30]
He would take me down to the sea[00:01:35]
And standing on the water edge[00:01:39]
And watch me go crazy[00:01:42]
As the gentle waves rolled in[00:01:44]
Looking back I wonder how it must have felt[00:01:49]
Watching me and running so free[00:01:54]
All the years in his life he wished he could forget[00:01:58]
Did he look at the world through me [00:02:03]
When I was a man I flew across the Ocean[00:02:18]
When I heard he needed care[00:02:22]
I listened as he spoke about his turbulent life[00:02:27]
From his ordinary chair[00:02:32]
And he ended by saying[00:02:37]
„Oh I’ve had enough[00:02:39]
The time has come for me to go[00:02:42]
I have only one wish[00:02:46]
That is left in me[00:02:48]
To be taken peacefully”[00:02:51]
Just before I was due to marry[00:03:07]
I heard he could not walk anymore[00:03:11]
It was then he gave up fight[00:03:16]
I’ve say goodbye[00:03:18]
Almost one year before[00:03:21]
And I’ll never forget something he told me[00:03:25]
He said”it’s a cruel world but you must live without fear”[00:03:32]
Well I sure miss my grandfather[00:03:39]
He’s the reason why I’m here[00:03:43]
