Mignon (original)

Some own palaces, and some own nothing...

Once I've been living near a shelter for homeless people and talked to some of them, now and then. mostly they simply had misfortune, they had a regular profession but then had an accident or someone left them. nowadays we're closer to that fate then anytime before I think.
"He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother".

This is a rough draft of this piece I was working on some weeks. hope you'll bear it. the timing of the visuals is still not perfect.-

Lyrics: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
(from "Wilhelm Meister")
Translation: Emily Ezust
Original composition:
Andreas Weydenberg 2009
---------------------------------------

He who never ate his bread with tears,
he who never, through miserable nights,
sat weeping on his bed -
he does not know you, Heavenly Powers.

You lead us into life,
you let the wretched man feel guilt,
and then you leave him to his pain -
for all guilt avenges itself on earth.
