LYRICS:

Für den Frieden der Welt

Worte, die wehtun und Bilder, die schrei'n
Wehende Fahnen im Wind
Grenzen, die Lügen, und keiner mehr kennt
Und Menschen von Tränen fast blind

Manchmal, da hör' ich ein Lied tief in mir
Das mir von Liebe erzählt
Sehnsucht nach Freiheit und nach einer Welt
Wo jeder den and'ren versteht

Für den Frieden der Welt, für die Hoffnung nach Licht
Für die Wahrheit, die keiner mehr sieht
Für die Menschen, die frier'n, und die keiner mehr hört
Dafür singe ich euch dieses Lied

Für den Frieden der Welt, für die Hoffnung nach Licht
Für die Wahrheit, die keiner mehr sieht
Für die Menschen, die frier'n, und die keiner mehr hört
Dafür singe ich euch dieses Lied
Dafür singe ich euch dieses Lied

Flehende Herzen im Dunkel der Nacht
Wann sehen sie wieder Licht?
Wer gibt den Kindern ihr Lachen zurück
Bevor ihre Hoffnung zerbricht?

Für den Frieden der Welt, für die Hoffnung nach Licht
Für die Wahrheit, die keiner mehr sieht
Für die Menschen, die frier'n, und die keiner mehr hört
Dafür singe ich euch dieses Lied

Und es darf nicht mehr sein
Dass man Mut dazu braucht
Um den anderen Liebe zu zeigen

Für den Frieden der Welt, für die Hoffnung nach Licht
Für die Wahrheit, die keiner mehr sieht
Für die Menschen, die frier'n, und die keiner mehr hört
Dafür singe ich euch dieses Lied
Ah... dieses Lied



TRANSLATION:

For the peace of the world

Words that hurt and pictures that scream
Flying flags in the wind
Frontiers that lies and nobody knows anymore
And people almost blinded by tears

Sometimes I hear a song deep in me
That tells me about love
Longing for freedom and for a world
Where everybody understands eachother

For the peace of the world, for the hope for light
For the truth that nobody sees anymore
For the people that are cold and that nobody hears anymore
For them I sing you this song

For the peace of the world, for the hope for light
For the truth that nobody sees anymore
For the people that are cold and that nobody hears anymore
For them I sing you this song
For them I sing you this song

Entreating hearts in the darkness of the night
When will they see light again?
Who will give the laughter back to the children
Before their hope is broken?

For the peace of the world, for the hope for light
For the truth that nobody sees anymore
For the people that are cold and that nobody hears anymore
For them I sing you this song

And it can't still be
That you need courage
To show love to others

For the peace of the world, for the hope for light
For the truth that nobody sees anymore
For the people that are cold and that nobody hears anymore
For them I sing you this song
Ah... this song
