The prisoner is counting the days until he's free
until he can walk outside and is allowed to see the sun
The young man is counting the days until he's of age
until he can buy some beer in the store and is allowed to get drunk
Don't we all count the days?
We count until we're no longer able to count
but in the moment we're finished
we start anew
The young girl is counting the days until she's by his side again
until she's allowed to see him and can feel his warmth
The worker is counting the days until he gets some freedays
until he's allowed to rest his hands and spend some days with his children
Don't we all count the days?
We count until we're no longer able to count
but in the moment we're finished
we start anew
We all have these things that
keep us going, that we live for
We all have things that make us happy
that nobody can take from us
Don't we all count the days?
We count until we're no longer able to count
but in the moment we're finished
we start anew
