You don't believe you can still make it
The last chance is long gone
Ideas, dreams that were so important to you
They've suddenly shattered for you
And what you want to fight for
You're missing the last bit of strength for it
Head down, you're a cowardly dog
We know you'll still make it
Good luck!
Good luck, good luck!
Raise your head
And make the best of it
Good luck!
Good luck, good luck!
Raise your head
And make the best of it
Good luck!
And if you ever stand alone
And nobody's with you anymore
Then raise your head, you're your own hero
Because where there was shadow, light comes
Good luck!
Good luck, good luck!
Raise your head
And make the best of it
Good luck!
Good luck, good luck!
Raise your head
And make the best of it
Good luck!
Come on, raise your head
Make the best of it
Do what you want to do
And never, never give up!
Come on, raise your head
Make the best of it
Do what you want to do
And never, never give up!
Come on, raise your head
Make the best of it
Do what you want to do
And never, never give up!
Good luck!
Come on, raise your head
Raise your head
Make the best of it
Good luck!
Do what you want to do
Raise your head
And never
Good luck!

SONG MEANING

Glück Auf! is a fist-pumping pep talk set to music. In German mining tradition, Glück auf means “good luck, come back up safely,” and the Broilers turn that greeting into a rallying cry for anyone who feels stuck underground in their own life. The lyrics speak directly to moments when dreams seem shattered and energy is at zero, then flip the mood by urging you to lift your head, trust your inner hero, and squeeze the best out of whatever is left.

With every shout-along chorus, the song hammers home a simple rule: never, never give up. Even when you feel alone, light follows shadow, and confidence returns the second you decide to fight again. Think of it as a musical hard-hat—put it on, raise your chin, and climb back toward the daylight.
