Paul Van Dyk Wir Sind Wir (English) lyrics

Day by day, year by year
When I'm walking along this street
I'm seeing the ruins crowing up to houses

Many windows still stay empty
There was no return for many people
About the things what just happened
No one speaks about it anymore

But I'm still asking who we are

We're what we are
We're standing here
Divided, defeated and else
We are still alive

We're what we are
We're standing here
It can't be over yet
No time for sadness

We're what we are
We're standing here
We're what we are

We thought resurrection from the ruins
Dreams had to come true
Forty years of united power
We made ashes into gold

Now everything changed
Things from the past are worthless today
Now we can get everything

But didn't we want more than that?

And I'm asking where we are

We're what we are
We're standing here
Reunited in one country
Rich and burned out

We're what we are
We're standing here
We're not going down

No time to be angry
We're what we are
We're standing here
We're what we are

We're what we are
Divided, defeated and else
Finally, we still exist

We're what we are
We will get over it
Because life has to go on

We're what we are
This is just a bad phase
We will never give up
