Marvin

My dad hadn't been to school
I still remember
He had a good heart
He made his money
By working hard
And nevertheless
It couldn't be worse
Little money
To pay
All accounts
And hope expenses
 
But god wanted
Him to fall down
With his hands
Raised to the sky
Begging pardon
I cried
My dad said
'Good luck'
With his arm at my shoulder
In his death bed
And said:
"Marvin, now it's only you'
And you shouldn't cry
It will only hurt me more
 
And three days after dieing
I wanted to hear the news about him
But I didn't even
Go to school
Mom remembered it
All the time
 
And every day
Before sun rising
I used to work
Without being distracted
Sometimes I think
Things might have gone wrong
I wanted to run away
But wherever I am
I really know
What he means
I can't forget it
He said:
'Marvin, life is no game
I've done my best
And I know your fate
By heart
 
So someday
It rained so hard
And my harvest got destroyed
And at the age thirteen
I felt the world under my responsibility
I wanted to play
But I lost the bet
 
I used to work
Like a slave
I could only eat some meat
If I stole some chicken
My dad took care
Of all my family
And without even realizing
I walked the same way
And every night mom used to pray
Oh, gosh
I've only stolen
Because of hunger
It passed ten years
My siblings grew up
And mom passed away
I cried
My dad said
'Good luck'
With his hand in my shoulder
In his death bed
And I said
 
Marvin, it's only you now
And please don't cry
It will only hurt me
Marvin, life is no game
I've done my best
And I know your fate
By heart
