Träume [English translation]

it were bigger plans, cleaner hands

and a more honest smile

there was a lot more to love, no thought of weakness

just Matchbox and sandpit battles, no one had to stab

what's rap, the goal still was to become astronaut

and no one could have stopped it by saying 'you'll never make it'

we were so far away from hatred, another galaxy

without envy, without greed, without job, without beef, without war

without suit and account balance, simply cool with what god gave us

only being pure when born

and after that getting depraved, how on earth did we become so

so tell me where did they go

because all the dreams we once had burned to ashes

carried away by the wind, naive or blind

because we have forgotten

maybe we have just forgotten who we are

because all the dreams we once had burned to ashes

carried away by the wind, naive or blind

because we have forgotten

maybe we have just forgotten who we are

where have we lost what we have been

and why can't we cope anymore

not giving a damn about the dough, more important was

when is daddy back and taking you back into his arms

you would have shaken anyones hand

but now you overthink it, about envy and betrayal

and in the first place about your own good

in former times we shared, even when not receiving anything

and all in all we were a lot happier than now

but one day on the way we left the path

only being pure when born

and after that getting depraved, how on earth did we become so

so tell me where did they go

because all the dreams we once had burned to ashes

carried away by the wind, naive or blind

because we have forgotten

maybe we have just forgotten who we are

because all the dreams we once had burned to ashes

carried away by the wind, naive or blind

because we have forgotten

maybe we have just forgotten who we are

between diapers and toys

there was space for big dreams

but where are they now

dreams are dying between full-time job,

oilcrisis and gold price
