Open The Window – German

July 27, 2016 By Faith Naoi

27 Jul

By Elise Witt
Inspired by a Georgia Sea Islands Spiritual
©  1997 Non Si Sa Mai Music ASCAP
Recorded on Elise Witt’s CD  “OPEN THE WINDOW”  © 1997 EMWorld Records
German lyrics by Inge & Elise Witt

Öffnet Die Fenster

CHORUS:  Öffnet die Fenster, Kinder
Öffnet die Fenster jetzt
Öffnet die Fenster, Kinder
Öffnet die Fenster, lasst die Taube herein
 
Grenzen zwischen Menschen, Grenzen zwischen Ländern
Öffnet die Fenster, lasst die Taube herein
Weg mit Hass und Habsucht, vieles muss sich ändern
Öffnet die Fenster, lasst die Taube herein
 
CHORUS
 
Nachbarn schliessen Tür und Tor, sehen nicht drüber raus
Öffnet die Fenster, lasst die Taube herein
Wollen nicht wissen was da vorgeht, wollen nicht gucken aus dem Haus
Öffnet die Fenster, lasst die Taube herein
 
CHORUS
 
Manche haben Geld, manche haben keins
Öffnet die Fenster, lasst die Taube herein
Was nützt uns das Geld wenn das Herz nicht weint
Öffnet die Fenster, lasst die Taube herein
 
CHORUS
 
Uns’re ganze Welt ist schrecklich entzweit
Öffnet die Fenster, lasst die Taube herein
Oeffnet Eure Fenster, findet Einigkeit
Öffnet die Fenster, lasst die Taube herein
