Extract:
Wenn schon der Himmel mit dir weint warum merkst du nicht, dass du in dieser kranken Welt nich zu Hause bist
Wenn schon der Himmel mit dir weint, wenn er schon weint.
Wenn schon der Himmel mit dir weint warum glaubst du nicht, dass du in dieser dunklen Welt nicht alleine bist, wenn schon der Himmel mit dir weint und der Regen für dich fällt

Approaches:
The lyrics published on the website are not quite identical with those in the clip and in the song; I had to listen closely to correct/complete them - including capital letters, missing words etc.
Pupils could do the same - understanding along the way that Internet texts are not always reliable.
A gapfill activity would be relevant also
Rationale:
Lyrics are fairly straightforward, well pronounced and mood is clear.
