When I walk these streets
I see how the ruins of this city
Yet many windows stay empty
For many there was no return
And about what was just now
People today would rather not talk at all
But I ask, I ask myself who we are
We're us! We stand here!
Divided, defeated and yet
After all we're still alive
That can't be it yet
We're us! We stand here!
Risen from ruins, we thought
We'd achieved a dream
For 40 years we pulled together
We turned ashes into gold
Now everything's different again
And what was before is worth nothing today
Now we can have what we want
But didn't we really want much more?
And I ask, I ask myself where we stand
We're us! We stand here!
Super rich and flat broke
They won't break us that fast
We're us! We stand here!
Divided, defeated and yet
After all we still exist
'Cause life has to go on
It's just a bad streak
We won't give up that quickly now
