The Key
German version: Der Schlüssel
Im strahlenden Licht da wandelst du,
deine wunde, geschundene Seele kommt nun endlich wieder zur Ruh’.
Dein Herz mit all seiner Liebe spricht,
und endlich das Lächeln erstrahlt auf deinem Gesicht.
Die Wahrheit spürst du tief in dir,
deine stillen Gebete, deine Rufe um Hilfe – sie gelangten zu mir.
Die Zeit der Prüfung war hart und schwer,
du fühltest dich einsam, müde und ach so leer.
Schier zerbrochen bist du an all deinen Ängsten und Plagen,
dich quälten immerzu tausende von Fragen.
Frei davon bist du noch lange nicht,
und dennoch willst du es entzünden, dein strahlendes Licht.
Der Engel in dir, der ruft nach mir,
denn ich bin bei dir … so glaube mir.
Geh’ deinen Weg mit Sorgfalt und erwecke deine Kraft,
hab keine Angst wenn andere sprechen von “großer Macht”.
Die Macht die gemeint ist, ist das schimmernde Licht,
es ist die Liebe, die aus dir spricht.
Vertraue Dir und deinem ICH!
Sag dir ein ums andere mal: Ich liebe Mich!
Die Liebe zu Dir ist der Schlüssel für Dich
und irgendwann … da erkennst du auch Mich.

English version: The key
In the beaming light there thou stroll’st,
thy sore, oppressed soul finally comes to a rest.
Thy heart with all its love now talks,
and ultimately thy smile enlightens thy face again.
The truth thou can feel now deep inside of thee,
thy silent prayers, thy calls for help – they’ve reached me.
The testing time was hard and difficult …
often thou did feel so alone, tired and hollow within.
Thou nearly broke under the heap of thy fears and sorrow,
and thy soul was tortured by so many questions…
Not free of it thou are’st now – nor will you be for a bit of time,
but nonetheless thou are willing to ignite the shining light.
The angel in thee – he calls for me,
as I am with thee … just believe in me.
Walk thy path with care and arouse thy strength,
don’t be afraid when others talk about „mighty power“ .
The power meant … is the shimmering light,
it is the love speaking out of thy shining soul.
Trust in thyself and thy INNER child!
Keep saying again and again: I am loving myself!
The love for thee is the key for thyself
and somewhen … thou will even be able to recognize me.
