The horizon is black and it rains hard
(I) am totally alone in the open ocean
No compass on board and
There is no one on land that is looking for me
Mountainous waves tower over me
My boat is far too weak, the rudder is breaking
And an icy-cold undertow pulls me in the flood
Between the surges: your face
Filled with fear and lost, exactly like me
Tell me, what is it, that happened
There is still hope
Refrain:
We're alive! Hold on tightly to me
Don't give up until the end
We're alive! However the storm roars
I won't let you go!
We're alive! We will survive
We won't go under, in these terrible seas
We're alive! Can you see the light?
There is land in sight!
Just a little more, take my hand
A soul-quake, never heard of
No longer alone, I want to be an anchor
I'll hold you until the storm lets up
Our limbs are already numb from cold
Salt burns itself into our skins
But we have each other
Refrain:
We're alive! Hold on tightly to me
Don't give up until the end
We're alive! However the storm roars
I won't let you go!
We're alive! We will survive
We won't go under, in these terrible seas
We're alive! Can you see the light?
There is land in sight!
There! Ahead! A ship approaches
With our last strength, we wave and scream
But it passes us by
Refrain:
We're alive! Hold on tightly to me
Don't give up until the end
We're alive! However the storm roars
I won't let you go!
We're alive! We will survive
We won't go under, in these terrible seas
We're alive! Can you see the light?
We're alive! Can you feel it, like I can
Our hearts raise themselves to the light
We're alive! Striving for the heavens
Redeemed from pain
We're alive! Weightless and freed from all fears
We're alive forever, you and I
Do you see the light? Do you see the light?
