Gib mir Mut [English translation]

Give me courage to see

Signs to understand, which appear

To shake hands with clenched fists

To confess at the end, what I desire to say

What plagues me, even if it's hard.

Because it's rooted deep, hurts me.

Although it's been a long time

To see that behind everything there's more than it shows

Even if the first note

Apparently difficult targetted

Has hit how hard

To stay free

Free to write

Since applause makes drunk

Gives me the strength that I need

What I just reveal in this song

Give me courage to change myself

And to remain me at the same time

Also to accept in bad times

Not to write anything

Rather letting go of the pencil to understand at the end

That it's no use to write texts

Which never reach the quality

To distinguish who says something and who does something

Who is a real friend at the end

And who only smiles friendly

What it's good for not to believe

That it's ridiculous

Not to confess that you give up because you are weaker

Give me courage to lose it if all else fails

People accompany you joyful

To dump you down tomorrow

Courage to put more faith in other hands

To be able to read last chapters of life to the very end

Give me courage when I get on stage

Standing in front of the audience and the crowd

That I really tell what I experience

And not other shit because fame is the reward

Give us courage that we in same steps

Beat nails with our heads

That we don't carry in front of our heads

The boards that mean the world

When the fire of excess goes around

Burns me from inside like my conscience when I take me for a fool

That I don't only seek values

Rather watch out for dignity

Be able to breathe untroubled

As soon as I need an escape

I shall swim upstream to reach the source

In a peaceful and good place

To enrich my heart

Spend energy and

Manage resources in equal measures

Switch to the backburner

As soon as I receive the timetable

Not only demand

Instead of asking politely

So that I say: "Ey give me courage so that I keep courage"

Give me courage..
