Tom: F major•
Verse 1
F
My name is Lisa Kalvelage, I
C
F
was born in Nuremberg
Bb
And when the trials were held
It seemed to me ridiculous to
C
F
hold a nation all to blame
Bb
For the horrors that the world did undergo
F
C
A short while later when I
F
applied to be a G. I. bride
C
He refused my exit permit,
F
said my answers did not show
Bb
I'd learned my lesson about responsibility.
F
Verse 2
F
Thus suddenly I was forced to
C
F
start thinking on this theme
Bb
And when later I was permitted to emigrate
F
I must have been asked a hundred
C
F
times where I was and what I did
Bb
F
In those years when Hitler ruled our state
C
F
I said I was a child or at most a teen-ager
Bb
But But that only extended the questioning
F
C
They'd ask, where were my parents,
Bb
And to this I could answer
not a thing.
F
Verse 3
The seed planted there at
C
F
Nuremberg in 1947
Bb
F
Started to sprout and to grow
Gradually I understood what that
C
F
verdict meant to me
Bb
When there are crimes that I
C
And now I also know what it is to
F
be charged with mass guilt
Bb
F
Once in a lifetime is enough for me
C
F
No, I could not take it for a second time
Bb
And that is why I am here today.
F
Verse 4
The events of May 25th, the
C
F
day of our protest,
Bb
Put a small balance weight
Hopefully,
C
F
someday my contribution to peace
Bb
F
Will help just a bit to turn the tide
C
F
And perhaps I can tell my children six
Bb
F
And later on their own children
C
F
That at least in the future they
need not be silent
"Where was your mother, when?"
