Was Wünschen Die Kinder Auf Unserer Welt

What do the children of our world want
The Jenny of Johnny and you
I asked the children the question
Now listen to their answers

What do children want in times of hunger and war
(They wish for peace and bread)
(They do not ask for honor and victory)
(They wish for an end to the suffering)
(We wish an end to the suffering)

What do children want when it is vacation
(Lots of space, a ball and lots of time)
Two weeks in the car, says a child
(That's simply too far for me)
(That's simply too far for us)

What do children wish for at Christmas
And for all the festivals of the year
(Many wishes were buzzing through my head)
(But only a few come true)
(But only a few come true)

What do the children of our world want
(The children ask this back)
(What about the wishes of the grown-ups)
I think we wish each other luck, only luck
I think we wish each other luck
(We think they just wish for luck)
(We think they wish each other luck)
