Paroles et traduction Xavier Naidoo - Sie ist im Viereck angelegt

Sie ist im Viereck angelegt

Warum hab′ ich das wohl getan?
Ich sags dir, die Wahrheit wollte niemand hören
Denn ich hatte da etwas erfahren
Das konnte nur die Ruhe stören
So behielt ich es für mich
Aus Angst mich zu versprechen
Die Frage nun an dich, war das mein Verbrechen?

Refrain:
Sie ist im Viereck angelegt
Zu meinen Gunsten ausgelegt
Hab' ich Zion als erster gesehen (2x)

Warum hab′ ich es erfahren in meinem Auto
Warum ich und nicht du
Das war mit Jericho genauso, ich hab' sie umrundet und sie fiehl mir zu
Du mußt es nicht glauben, doch ist es wahr
Meine Stadt ist mein Licht
Du willst mich berauben, doch krümmst mir kein Haar Meine Rettung ist in Sicht
Warum ich und nicht du?
Die letzten reihen sich als erste ein
Ich erinnere Dich, dass was ich tu, muss für euch ja das letzte sein
Warum ich und nicht du?
Die letzten reihen sich als erste ein
Ich erinnere Dich, dass was ich tu, muss für euch ja das letzte sein

Was, wenn Mannheim Zion ist hättest du auch sehen können
Doch das nötige Bibelstudium musstest du dir schon noch gönnen
Da stellt dir die Zeit eine Falle
Ich hab' es längst erzählt
Jetzt wissen es alle und jetzt wird ausgezählt

Refrain

They got me living in this world is kind of crazy
From the time I was little youth and baby
They taught me things I never want to learn hoping maybe
I could be the next one to get their job done
But some how I always knew that they were shady
Wheather it was just a charming man or pretty lady
I never took for granted anything they gave me
Cause their system is desinged to keep us in mental slavery
In my younger days I used to look up to heaven
Wonder why the Angel never come why god not send me
Till I learned to look a little deeper to me breathren understanding
God was each and every one of them watch me come again
Life intricates god master god the immaculate
Conception of birth god creator of earth
Sun moon stars and the after life and the eternal

She is laid out in a square

Why did I do that?
I tell you, nobody wanted to hear the truth
Because I had learned something there
That could only disturb the peace
So I kept it to myself
Out of fear of promising myself
Now the question to you, was that my crime?

Chorus:
She is laid out in a square
Designed in my favor
Was I the first to see Zion (2x)

Why did I find out in my car
Why me and not you
That was the same with Jericho, I circled it and it fell to me
You don't have to believe it, but it's true
My city is my light
You want to rob me, but you won't hurt a hair on my head My salvation is in sight
Why me and not you?
The last will be the first
I remind you that what I do must be the last for you
Why me and not you?
The last will be the first
I remind you that what I do must be the last for you

What if Mannheim is Zion, you could have seen it too
But you still had to do some necessary Bible study
That's when time sets a trap for you
I've told you long ago
Now everyone knows it and now the counting will begin

Chorus
