(SOLANG' DIE ERDE SICH NOCH DREHT) NUR MUT
Dear God, look at this world
The one you made for us
We brought suffering and war and famine
Into this world
You give us hope for the future
With every single new day
But I'm not so sure about it anymore
If the globe can take all this any longer
As long as this earth's still spinning round
As long as the last wind's still blowing
A child is born
That copes with the new day having smiling tears in his eyes
Our mind, our common sense and our heart
Don't cry for violence
But every night on the evening news
We see dead bodies lying on the asphalt
As long as in Beijing and L.A. through men's hand
A bullet is searching for it's victim
The joy about Disney World
Is covered with a shroud
As long as this earth's still spinning round
As long as the last wind's still blowing
A child is being born
That copes with the new day having smiling tears in his eyes
As long as we live you guide us
In our dealing and acting
But the joy about the madness of our power
Doesn't leave us in peace any longer
For nature's day of reckoning
We just need the tables up to ten
We're commencing the final countdown
3 - 2 - 1 - FIRE!
As long as this earth's still spinning round
As long as the last wind's still blowing
And hope is still left
That through our pleas and praying another new day will arise
As long as this world's still spinning round
As long as a last wind's still blowing,
A child is being born
That copes with the new day having smiling tears in his eyes
