Fährmann

Far away on a coastal land
He’s sitting on the shore
Watching the flood coming in and out
While it rains
Captain, tell us if we can leave
The port of the lost souls
The ocean seems so endless and so pure

Unknown seas
Fährmann, fährmann
Führ uns ins weiße licht
Schenk uns glauben
Neue zuversicht
Fährmann, fährmann
Geleite uns über das schwarze meer
An ein neues ufer
Zur gegenwehr
Sometimes we need someone to understand

To ferry across to sense
To recognize when time has come to leave
The past
We are sailing into the light
Of a new generation
To the end of the horizon where a beacon shines
Just for us
Departing from the black port of isolation
