The fairytales of your childhood are colourful
The dreams of your youth are vain
But you have to watch all your dreams vanish
Once you've come of age
If the happiness you're promised today is deceptive
If the fidelity that will be broken tomorrow is full of lies
Then you'll realise it: Trust nobody but yourself
For you'll find out that...
Only you can be the master of your destiny
Even if the whole world is against it
Why do you keep asking, why do you lament in fear?
May the others cry
You'll be on that way alone
Only you
The songs of your childhood are silent now
The dreams of your youth are long gone now
That imaginary happiness that you achieve by storm
Is going to end so quickly
If your whole world collapses then
Don't hope for a miracle falling from heaven
Take your skills, your hope for an upcoming happiness
Tightly in your hands
You alone can be the master of your destiny
Even if the devil appears in between
Don't care about the rest of the world, do it your way
And let the others cry
You'll be on that way alone
Only you, only you
Only you
