  • Verse 1
    My 
    name 
    is 
    Lisa 
    Kalvelage, I 

    was 
    born 
    in 
    Nurember

    And 
    when 
    the trials 
    were 
    held 

    there 
    nineteen 
    years 
    ago 

    It 
    seemed 
    to 
    me 
    ridiculous 
    to 

    hold 
    nation 
    all 
    to blame 

    For 
    the 
    horrors 
    that 
    the world 
    did 
    undergo 

    A short 
    while 
    later 
    when 

    applied 
    to 
    be 
    a G. 
    I. 
    bride 

    An 
    American 
    consular 

    official 
    questioned 
    me 

    He 
    re
    fused 
    my 
    exit 
    permit, 

    said 
    my 
    answers 
    did 
    not 
    show 

    I'd 
    learned 
    my 
    lesson 
    about 
    responsibility. 


    Verse 2
    Thus 
    suddenly 
    was 
    forced 
    to 

    start 
    thinking 
    on 
    this 
    theme 

    And 
    when 
    later 
    was 
    permitted 
    to 
    emigrate 

    must 
    have 
    been 
    asked 
    hundred 

    times 
    where 
    was 
    and 
    what 
    I did 

    In 
    those 
    years 
    when 
    Hitler 
    ruled 
    our 
    state 

    said 
    was 
    a child 
    or 
    at 
    most 
    teen-ager 

    But 
    But 
    that 
    only 
    extended 
    the questioning 

    They'd 
    ask, 
    where 
    were 
    my 
    parents, 

    my 
    father, 
    my 
    mother 

    And 
    to 
    this 
    could 
    answer 

    not 
    a thing. 

    Verse 3

    The seed 
    planted 
    there 
    at 

    Nuremberg 
    in 
    1947 

    Started 
    to 
    sprout 
    and 
    to grow 

    Gradually 
    understood 
    what 
    that 

    ver
    dict 
    meant 
    to me 

    When 
    there 
    are 
    crimes 
    that I 

    can 
    see 
    and 
    can 
    know 

    And 
    now 
    also 
    know 
    what 
    it 
    is 
    to 

    be 
    charged 
    with 
    mass 
    guilt 

    Once 
    in 
    a lifetime 
    is 
    enough 
    for 
    me 

    No, 
    could 
    not 
    take 
    it for 
    second 
    time 

    And 
    that 
    is 
    why 
    am 
    here 
    today. 

    Verse 4

    The 
    events 
    of 
    May 
    25th, the 

    day 
    of 
    our 
    protest, 

    Put 
    small 
    balance 
    weight 

    on 
    the 
    other 
    side 

    Hopefully, 

    someday 
    my 
    contri
    bution 
    to 
    peace 

    Will 
    help 
    just 
    a bit 
    to 
    turn 
    the 
    tide 

    And 
    per
    haps 
    can 
    tell 
    my 
    children 
    six 

    And 
    later 
    on 
    their 
    own 
    chil
    dren 

    That 
    at 
    least 
    in 
    the 
    future 
    they 

    need 
    not 
    be 
    silent 

    When 
    they 
    are 
    asked, 

    "Where 
    was 
    your 
    mother, 
    when?"

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
