Gegen Den Wind
Udo Jürgens
Against The Wind
Don't give luck a choice
Take it into your own hands
If you want, set the Sun on fire
Whatever people say
This is uninteresting
If the others don't like it
How you live how you love
Then forgo their applause
Thoughts are wings
Just spread them out
Fly against the wind
Only then will you fly far
Believe in your strength
Your uniqueness
Be who you are
Not like everyone else
If you want to take off
It's only against the wind
You must be like the tree
Who stretches to heaven
Through the clouds that are black and heavy
Like a stream that never gives up
Undeterred to the sea
Just as Icarus was
He risked everything
And then he came too close to the light
But he was in the Sun
And the others don't
Fly against the wind
Only then will you fly far
Believe in your strength
Your uniqueness
Be who you are
Not like everyone else
If you want to take off
It's only against the wind
Fly with courage and feeling
And with love as the goal
Fly against the wind
Only then will you fly far
Believe in your strength
Your uniqueness
Be who you are
Not like everyone else
If you want to take off
It's only against the wind
