Ich Rette Die Welt Lyrics in English Madsen

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ich Rette Die Welt by Madsen from German to English.
I fell asleep, woke up
Then I came up with something
Not easy but not impossible
Thought it over again
Then I told everyone and got laughed at
But that doesn't bother me
I close my eyes and take all my courage
'Cause I know today I gotta do something good
I close my eyes and take all my rage
Here comes a totally ordinary hero, I'm saving the world
You can't tell by looking at me, I've got a plan
It's not easy but I believe in it
Barely doable but not impossible
No matter how it ends, bad or good
In the end I tried and that's what counts
I close my eyes and take all my courage
'Cause I know today I gotta do something good
I close my eyes and take all my rage
Here comes a totally ordinary hero, I'm saving the world
I close my eyes and take all my courage
'Cause I know today I gotta do something good
I close my eyes and take all my rage
Here comes a totally ordinary hero, I'm saving the world

SONG MEANING

Have you ever woken up with a wild idea that felt bigger than you? In “Ich Rette Die Welt,” German rockers Madsen celebrate that spark of inspiration. The narrator drifts from sleep into a bold plan to save the planet, only to be laughed at by everyone around him. Instead of giving up, he closes his eyes, gathers every ounce of courage, and turns daydreams into determination. The song barrels forward with pounding drums and soaring guitars, mirroring the rush of an ordinary person deciding to do something extraordinary.

Behind the catchy hooks lies an empowering message: heroism is not reserved for caped crusaders. Madsen reminds us that real change begins when we turn fear into bravery and anger into action. You might not look like a savior on the outside, but believing in your plan—and trying, no matter the outcome—already makes you a “ganz normaler Held” (a completely normal hero). So crank up the volume, shut your eyes, and let this anthem convince you that even the smallest act of courage can help “rette die Welt” (save the world).
