When the wind is up

Nena (DEU)


You decide direction 
You decide the way 
Wish for far-off places 
Wish for a new day 

Your thoughts possess a power 
You'll never understand 
A universe can grow from 
Tiny grain of sand 

Love me as you trust me 
Love that has a face 
We've dumped this ship together 
Disappear without a trace 

Be strong in your emotion 
Be strong in what you do 
Believe you can move mountains 
That's exactly what we'll do 

Things in ... are fine 
Just the stuff untill you're mine 
What you think 
What you do 
I know it's true 
If you never move 
You will never stretch 
When we are on our way 
They will never catch us 

Things never gonna make you rich 
You can eat them if you try 
And what's left when you're through 
Isn't something you can buy 
Some will win and others won't 
And if you should fade 
Everyone will know that you were 
The one who learned to say: 
"And we can fly away" 

Cause the wind is up 
And the webs still sail 
And we won't look back 
Cause the great never do fade 

See the wind is up 
And the compass turns 
And it can't be stopped 
And we're just here to learn (just here to learn) 

The present is eternal 
But nothing ever lasts 
You wanna live forever 
Then you've got to kill the past 

We can rise out in to heaven 
Or face the fires of hell 
But this life that we are livin' 
We've tried to live it well
