Gott steh mir bei [English translation]

The great powers build big bombs again

Dark men fill their black accounts

Mountains of plastic float in radioactive seas

And rain forests become burnt soil

Children with rifles under a sky full of drones

The former hate comes back with new parols

The world goes dry under a flood of people

Which fight for oil today and tomorrow already they will fight for water

And I actually thought

We would be more developed

And I recognize just now

How desperate I am

I didn't read the bible

I don't have the coran with me

But when I see all this

God, be with me!

I didn't listen to the Torah

I didn't have time for Buddha

But when I see all this

God, be with me! God, God, be with me!

Poisoned food packed in colourful colours

Secret computers save surveillance data

Our animals conquer new worlds in silence

We take pills that actually don't help

We still think that we are too different

Out of dishonor people have to love secretly

From this point a storm of comments is ruling.

Which in retrospect are all true

And I actually thought

We would be more developed

And I recognize just now

How desperate I am

I didn't read the bible

I don't have the coran with me

But when I see all this

God, be with me!

I never listened to the Torah

I didn't have time for Buddha

I just want to understand it

God, be with me! God, God, be with me!

“At least 40 people died in a couple of attacks in Paris today-”

“The horror continues for the people in Aleppo. Dead bodies retrieved...”

“And we will make America great again!”

“It's getting warmer and warmer on Earth thus the ice for the polar bears is melting away.”

“An accumulation of plastic waste. So large like whole Europe.”

“Do the people just don't want to go to the next trash can?”

“Millions of liters of oil pollute the environment.”

“... could cause a catastrophe that is so serious, that we wipe us out.”

And I actually thought

We would be more developed

And I recognize just now

How desperate I am

I didn't read the bible

I don't have the coran with me

But when I see all this

God, be with me!

I didn't listen to the Torah

I didn't have time for Buddha

But when I see all this

God, be with me! God, God, be with me!

I didn't read the bible

I don't have the coran with me

But when I see all this

God, be with me!

I never listened to the Torah

I didn't have time for Buddha

I just want to understand it

God, be with us! God,God, be with us!
