Wir Sind Wir

Day by day, year by year
As I walk through these streets
I see how the ruins of this city
Rise again into houses

But many windows remain empty
For many, there was no return
And about what just was
Today, people prefer not to talk anymore

But I wonder, I wonder who we are

We are us! We stand here!
Divided, defeated and yet
In the end, we are still alive

We are us! We stand here!
That can't have been it
No time to be sad
We are us! We stand here!
We are us!

Risen from ruins, we thought
We had achieved a dream
For 40 years, we pulled together
From ashes, we made gold

Now everything is different again
And what was before is worth nothing today
Now we can have what we want
But didn't we actually want much more?

And I wonder, I wonder where we stand

We are us! We stand here!
United again in one country
Super rich and bankrupt

We are us! We stand here!
You can't bring us down so easily
No time to be bitter
We are us! We stand here!
We are us!

We are us!
Divided, defeated and yet
After all, we still exist

We are us!
And we will survive
Because life must go on

We are us!
It's just a bad streak
We won't give up so easily now
