Walter
Where is Walter?
Where is Walter, where?
I was looking for Walter
In a Walter book
It can't be that difficult
But I can't find him
On these many pictures of Switzerland
The pages could just aswell be empty
I only see the Alps
All these old mountains
But when I call "Walter"
I only hear the echo dying
I see a red and white flag on a green meadow next to a blue lake
I thought for a moment I saw him running, but only the colors are running
So lovely, so laudable, so lively
So quietly, so lukewarm, so practical
I flip the pages to Altdorf
And I ask his father
And he says
"I thought he was standing right here in my shadow"
Where is Walter?
Where is Walter?
Where is Walter?
Where is Walter?
Where is Walter?
Where is Walter?
Where is Walter?
Where is Walter?
And so I keep turning the pages
Till the last page
But I haven't found him
And maybe he
Just had enough after
All those years and has
Walked out of the picture
And maybe he said "No
This isn't even my home
No, this is not my home
My father is a Dane
I'm not form here
I don't know what you want from me
I already had to put my head on the block for that thing with the apple
And now you think I need to stand here for somebody, anybody
You know
I don't want to be on all these election posters with my father
From left to right, 1. August speech, I've done it all
And if he really is
The father of
Our Switzerland
Then think about - who I am"
Where is Walter?
Where is Walter?
Where is Walter?
Where is Walter?
Where is Walter?
Where is Walter?
Where is Walter?
Where is Walter?
And if Walter should appear again against expectation
And if he would hear this song, then he would just immediately disappear again
And if the Alps could walk, they'd go
They would go
And if the pastures and the meadows and the forests could walk, they'd go
Because they are what they are
Everything else they have been turned into, and power is gained from it
And if they are gone, the pages are empty, but sheet still is not clean
That's why, tell me
Where is he?
Where is he?
Where is he?
Where is he?
Where is Walter?
Where is Walter?
Where is Walter?
Where is Walter?
