[Strophe 1]
Those have the courage, who, frozen with fear
Still swing in the saddle,
Who don't let their ship sink
In the entire journey during the stroms
Courage is always the beginning
So it's not worth looking back
Always forwards, never backwards
Happiness is waiting on the street
[Refrain]
Because who does not fight, has already lost
Only those who fall get up again
That's life (Wo-oh-oh)
This is how life takes its course
[Strophe 2]
Death is our companion
He's a dear friend for sure
And the world keeps going around
Even in the dark years of hunger
Godfather Death signs the end
So it's not worth looking back
Always forwards, never backwards
Happiness is waiting on the street
[Refrain]
Because who does not fight, has already lost
Only those who fall get up again
That's life (Wo-oh-oh)
This is how life takes its course
So we have sworn
Our fire will never burn out
That's life (Wo-oh-oh)
Never give up
Never give up
[Post-refrain]
Never give up (Wo-oh-oh)
[Strophe 3]
After the ebb comes the flood
And wild storms spark the embers
Those who see the fear have the real courage
And the ride right into the victory
That's life
[Refrain]
Because who does not fight, has already lost
Only those who fall get up again
That's life (Wo-oh-oh)
This is how life takes its course
So we have sworn
Our fire will never burn out
That's life (Wo-oh-oh)
Never give up
Never give up
That's life (Wo-oh-oh)
This is how life takes its course
So we have sworn
Our fire will never burn out
That's life (Wo-oh-oh)
Never give up
Never give up
