Ich will alles [English translation]

Living each day to the max

I'm drinking up every glass

I don't want much

I want more

Now I am free

And want it all

I'm learning Spanish and Bridge

I'm playing chess and the piano

I fight, I win and I lose

Never give up

I want it all

I won't say "maybe" no more

I scream out loud how I feel

I'm going all in for real

I want more

I want more

I want it all

No longer modest and numb1

No longer cheated and dumb2

No!

I want it all

I want it all

And I want it now

Before these dreams inside me turn to dust somehow3

Wanna live

I want to be

Just as I am

And whatever drags me down

Don't give a damn4

No-one puts me off

No-one is enough5

For too long I have passed things up

And made myself small

I want it all

I want it all

Don't lock me in

Never again

I'll take less than my share

I'm building walls made of light

I'm turning water to wine

I catch that moment in time

For I'm free

And want it all

Don't want to sit down and watch

I want to do my own part

And always know where to start6

I'm not giving in

I want it all

Never have any regrets

Don't want to be wise, just smart

Don't want to be perfect, just fine

I want more

I want more

I want it all

No longer modest and numb

No longer cheated and dumb

No!

I want it all

I want it all

And I want it now

Before these dreams inside me turn to dust somehow

Wanna live

I want to be

Just as I am

And whatever drags me down

Don't give a damn

No-one puts me off

No-one is enough

For too long I have passed things up

And made myself small

I want it all

I want it all

Don't lock me in

Never again

I'll take less than my share
