Ihr von morgen [English translation]

You of tomorrow

Will know what will happen to this earth.

Our hope is tattered

And we are lost.

Who will understand our fears a thousand years from now?

You of tomorrow

Will look backwards in astonishment!

Thoughts become goals,

A seed becomes a tree,

And one becomes many,

Freedom creates its space.

Who will understand our questions a thousand years from now?

You of tomorrow

Will look backwards in astonishment!

You of tomorrow,

When you awake once again

Don't forget our dreams.

Because we searched your invisible country in them day and night.

Any water finds ditches,

Often weakness can be strength,

And in the course of many lives

drops cave a stone.

Who will understand our doubts a thousand years from now?

You of tomorrow

Will walk new paths!

You of tomorrow

Found what seemed unattainable,

We left scars on the world,

Perhaps you have forgiven us.

Who will understand our mistakes in a thousand years from now?

You won't see any of it ever again.

The dust from our feet

Will be blown away by the wind of time.

You of tomorrow will walk new paths!
