Life is a long and silent river

Ten more summers pleased the land
ten more winters numbed the landscape
Time is running quickly
but in my brain a terrible dream never ends
i try to escape from my past
i'm damned to suffer a whole life!
Life is a long and silent river
She grows up - shy, alone and sad
other kids - kept away from her
her mother - was divorced long ago
no more love - only alcohol
Life is a long and silent river
No real friends - for the little girl
nobody understands - what's wrong with her
her classmates - cheat her all the time
the silent girl - is discriminated against

People are shouting at me
"you stupid girl!
how strange you are - never spoke!"
i try to escape from my past
i'm damned to suffer a whole life!
