Lyrics

Stand, if you will, right next to me
Wrapped around in the wind of eternity
See, for yourself the history
Nature's players boasting victory

Grab, the fruit of tomorrow
From which the energy of life we borrow
Taste, the weight of time
The only witness of glory and crime

Notice, how weak and petty we are
In the grand picture we're drawn afar
Hey, we can't help it
We die, only our grave's legit

But love, your very existence
You're the source of my subsistence
Slow down, take your time
And feel the Flow

Only if we watch together everything there is a Flow

Only with you do I wanna be part of the Flow

Notice, how weak and petty we are
In the grand picture we're drawn afar
Hey, we can't help it
We die, only our grave's legit

But love, your very existence
You're the source of my subsistence
Slow down, take your time
And feel the Flow

Only if we live it can we keep up to the speed of the Flow

Only with you do I wanna fall into the Flow

Only if we watch together everything there is a Flow

Only with you do I wanna be part of the Flow
