Ich bin dafür

If you believe the world can be a home
For black and white for man and child and woman
And if you think we should fight for them
For every flower every drop of dew

And if you think we should build bridges
Out of sympathy between you and me
And what we think we should also say
Then count on me
I am in favor

I am in favor of loving children
And show them how to give love
Instead of telling them at school
Be careful, your neighbor is a competitor

I am in favor of using machines instead of
First of all, people find work here
And that bread is produced instead of hand grenades
I am in favor
I am in favor

I am in favor of allowing objection
I even consider it a duty
And that the young people go their own way
Whether the old people like that or not

And if we plan the future like this
That every tree and stream and every animal
More important to us than motorways
Am I in favor
I am in favor

And someone tells me I'm a dreamer
A nutcase that may be
However, I dream with you and others
I dream and I am not alone in my own imagination

I am in favor of not even one child
Also only in the game with plastic tanks shoots
And that we sink all weapons there
Where the sea is deepest

I am in favor of living as human beings
And not as a silent, good herd animal
That we do not crawl that we rise
I am in favor
I am in favor

I am for being for everything
What is not violence is malice or greed
And if it costs a lesson I will pay it
I am in favor
I am in favor
