Horizont translates to "horizon". While it might seem like a common word, its usage in this song is particularly evocative and inspiring.
Santiano, known for their maritime folk music, uses "Horizont" to symbolize boundless possibility and the journey towards a grand future. The lyrics "So weit der Horizont reicht" (As far as the horizon reaches) encourage listeners to pursue their dreams without limits, making it a powerful and motivating word in the context of the song's theme of seizing one's time and destiny.
"Das ist eure Zeit" is a rallying song, sung straight at a group of people who have worked a long time for one moment.
The verses lay out how far they have come. Everyone lives for their own dream, they stand together and trust each other blindly, and they have travelled to the edge of the world. Now it is now or never: they are almost there, so close to the goal, and Santiano tell them they were the ones who brought them here.
The chorus is the promise. This is your time. You can write stories, you can become legends, you can be heroes, and this will be a day that lasts forever. The last section turns it into an instruction: you know the way, so get up, go it together, and follow your goal as far as the horizon reaches.
It is a song about the moment just before something big, and about doing it as a group rather than alone.
