Gott muss ein Seemann sein [English translation]

Look back, this world is ours

Let go of fear and worries

Here you're free (free), free (free), each voyage

Is like a new day

Keep your hand in the cold waves

And you'll discover so big a power

Here we're free (free), free (free), far away off

Into eternity

God has to be a sailor

No one will get lost

No one will get lost

He'll never abandon the crew

God has to be a sailor

God has to be a sailor

No one will get lost

No one will get lost

The devil will never catch up on us

God has to be a sailor

Let's go forth with the first beams

Let's go forth when the west wind roars

For we are free (free), free (free), straight away

Everywhere into the world

Where the waves reach for the heavens

There in the distance we'll be at home

For we are free (free), free (free), far away off

Into eternity

God has to be a sailor

No one will get lost

No one will get lost

He'll never abandon the crew

God has to be a sailor

God has to be a sailor

No one will get lost

No one will get lost

The devil will never catch up on us

God has to be a sailor

Solo:

God has to be a sailor

No one will get lost

No one will get lost

He'll never abandon the crew

God has to be a sailor

No one will get lost

No one will get lost

He'll never abandon the crew

God has to be a sailor

God has to be a sailor

No one will get lost

No one will get lost

The devil will never catch up on us

God has to be a sailor
