Again I'm drawn to the sea
I look to the horizon
I feel this wanderlust
I just can't understand it
I'd like to be the perfect daughter
Yet I just stare at the water
Won't admit it to myself
I know every path, every clearing here
Every step I take brings me back here
But I can't leave
Not for that place that stirs the longing
Where the sea fades away a sound floats
It calls me
Is it far, am I ready
When the wind and the sea
Then side with me
The time will come
When I go we'll see how far I get
I know everyone here on this island
Is so happy on the island
Everything here is so perfect
I know
Hey!
Everyone here on this island
Is vital to it
Will I find my place
I stride ahead proudly and make us strong
And I'm glad I can be with you
Yet something in me pulls me away from here
What's wrong with me
That light that shines on the sea
It blinds
Is it far, am I ready
And it seems a voice calls out loud
'Come to me'
Now it's time
Show me the place beyond the horizon
Where the sea fades away a sound floats
It calls me
Is it far, am I ready
When the wind and the sea
Then side with me
Then it's time
I'm ready

SONG MEANING

Ich Bin Bereit sweeps us into a sparkling mix of wanderlust and self-discovery. Standing on a picturesque island, the narrator feels torn between being the “perfect daughter” who stays and the restless dreamer who hears the ocean’s call. Every familiar path leads her back to the shore, where the horizon glows like a promise. The sea seems to whisper her name, asking if she is ready to leave comfort behind and chase the unknown. In shimmering pop melodies, Helene Fischer captures that electric moment when curiosity finally outweighs fear.

At its heart, the song is a celebration of courage. It reminds us that while home offers safety and belonging, our true growth often waits just beyond the visible edge of the map. When the wind and waves “join forces” with the singer, they symbolize the instant the universe conspires with our deepest wishes. Listeners are invited to feel the thrill of stepping onto an uncharted journey and to believe, like Fischer’s heroine, that once we answer the call, we will discover how far we can really go.
