Mein Ziel [English translation]

It's good if the world keeps on moving

Doesn't mean you have to be dancing on tables

And I'm not gonna move mountains anymore

But every now and then I'm gonna climb one1

Life isn't born from faded applause

How would you ever take credit for yesterday's deeds?

Only today is what counts, every day anew

You've got to try again

My goal - is to always have a goal

To push beyond borders without any limits

My goal - to swallow every pride

To look beyond dreams

My goal - can only be freedom and love

What's causing unrest for a lifetime for me

Is tranquility that's paralyzing, eerie silence

And even though not everything can be a success

Yet I feel: there is the will to

And still I want it all

Want to ask for everything, give everything

Standing tall, not bent by fate

Not the wrong one - I want the real life2

My goal - is to always have a goal

To push beyond borders without any limits

My goal - to swallow every pride

To look beyond dreams

My goal - can only be freedom and love

Go put the world upside down, and yourself, too

Why would you be scared by what's new?

Try to be Columbus three times a day

There's so much still to discover!

My goal - is to always start anew

My goal - I can feel it deep inside of me

My goal - can only be freedom and love!
