To Offer a Hand

To Offer a Hand

As long as you say
because it's the end, because there's no more
not yes, no, no
enough war. There's
 
someone saying
I hear the voice
of someone, there is plenty
All is well, there's someone saying
Therefore: there is someone
who breathes now
 

To Stretch Out a Hand

As long as you say
the end, no more
not so/yes, no no
enough fighting. There is
 
someone is saying
I hear his voice,
of someone, that it is plenty
it is well, there is someone saying
that is, there is someone
who is breathing now
