Sibylle Baier - Let Us Know

September 1, 2008 Sibylle Baier

"This was a song written for the Film ‘The Palermo Shooting’ by Wim Wenders. Wim is a friend of the family and is a big fan of her (Sibylle’s) music. I (her son) recorded it in my studio and added the background atmosphere."

This is how I understand the lyrics, there are some words I am unsure of though:

Let us know
that the little things are
little
and big ones big
Life is fragrant and brittle
A twig
On the tree of knowing
It grows for the sake of growing
From the drunkenness of my trying
I’ve become whole
My soul’s in the freedom of seeing
The one in the manifold
It knows
Without knowing
Let us know
That the little things are
Little
And big ones big
Have us see what is now
In the light of eternity
Let us be
You and me
Like writing on water
Leaving no trace
Embracing the face
Of our dying
Into this brilliant space
It glows for the sake of glowing
Let us know
That the little things are
Little
And big ones big
