[Moritz:]
Those you've known
And lost still walk behind you
All alone
They linger till they find you
Without them
The world grows dark around you
And nothing is the same
Until you know that they have found you

[Wendla:]
Those you've pained
May carry that still with them
All the same
They whisper "All forgiven"
Still your heart says
The shadows bring the starlight
And everything you've ever been
Is still there in the dark night

[Moritz:]
Though you know
You've left them far behind
You walk on by yourself
And not with them
Still you know
They will fill
Your heart and mind
When they say
There's a way through this

[Wendla:]
When the northern
Wind blows
The sorrows
Your heart holds
There are those
Who still know
They're still home
We're still home

[Melchior, Moritz
