Die Welt braucht Lieder [English translation]

Flying against the wind

Like when we were kids

Cutting school

Love against the hate

Without visa and passport

Over the borders

Laughing against sobriety

You better not unlearn

How to hit back

Life against the death

Defiance as a daily bread

To survive

Lifting your voice and singing

Until you don't know what hit you

Harmonize contrasts

Into a language everyone understands

Again and again, again and again

The world needs songs

Sailing against the storm

Never toady to others

Like a wretched worm

In the icy air

Of loneliness smelling

The scent of freedom

Striving against the stream

Making head against

Violence autonomically

All alone

You have majority appeal

That's what counts the most

Lifting your voice and singing

Before the sea is drowning in the desert

To overcome indifference

In a language that sounds credible

Again and again, again and again

The world needs songs
