Freiheit [English translation]

Because this album’s title is „Freiheit“ (freedom)

Many will ask what freedom means to me

What a great feeling

What a great expectation I feel

What a great responsibility, what a huge burden

To explain what Freedom is to me, what a huge hurdle

I can only add a small part to it

One cannot limit freedom, you need to breathe freedom

Freedom, freedom

Is the only thing that counts

Freedom, freedom

Freedom means to be the way I am, freedom, for me, is making mistakes like a child

And if it needs to be I’ll fall over

But I’ll get up again, freedom says don’t hesitate but run

If you know what you want, then do it, if not then do it, too

Freedom means speaking free, liberate and remain free

Break down walls which have been errect by the fear to fail, have courage

Freedom means even to disappoint, to meet your own expectations

Instead of meeting other’s expectations

Freedom is to make decisions

From time to time freedom also means to have the freedom to change an opinion

Freedom means that there’s a sense to it sometimes

That my freedom has to end where the freedom of someone else starts

But freedom can never be abjuring our rights

To live according to it, to aspire to it and speak about if freely

With my lyrics I can only add a small part to it

One cannot limit freedom, you need to breathe freedom

Freedom, what a huge word, I heard that you are limitless

Nevertheless, many people do not know you, they fight for you

Some by speaking, being silent and praying, others with weapons

Because there’s no other perspective

You different for everybody

So it’s even more paradox when politics negotiate to get you

You’re the right, you are what everybody deserves

Nobody should have to plead for you, nowhere, never

You’re so imtimate and personal, like the innermost wishes and dreams

But only few put them into practive

Some really believe that they could buy you

Others run 10.000s of kilometers through desert because they believe in you

Migrants leave their country only for you, in hope for you

And some still do not find you

Sometimes I sacrifice a part of you to get other parts

And sometimes I have to part to experience more of you

Because you are freedom
