Berlin 05:10
Stumbling through the streets Falling as the night and morning meet Thousands of different pathways collide A lack of sleep, so many distant lives Berlin, Berlin Full of love and hope and pain and sin Berlin, Berlin I long to catch a sight of you again Simon from Slovenia told me Berlin was for the broken A place to run from your pain Or a place to simply disappear His shattered heart wept tales of his love Heartache and heartbreak forced him here Sometimes love can seem so far away But when you feel at home it draws so near Berlin, Berlin Where everything and everyone keeps changing Berlin, Berlin I long to catch a sight of you again I met Ali from Syria Who'd walked and walked for 70 days To escape from the uncertainty and fear From Damascus to Instanbul to here Why must we drop those bombs? That destroy entire cities and regions And tear apart whole families, lives and Homs Just so we can prove that we're still strong Berlin, Berlin Found so much love in your raucous din Berlin, Berlin, I long to catch a sight of you again Berlin, Berlin Full of love and hope and pain and sin Berlin, Berlin I long to catch a sight of you again Berlin, Berlin Where everything and everyone keeps changing Berlin, Berlin I long to catch a sight of you again

Maybe it's because I was born under bad stars Maybe that's why I've been running all my life so far There ain't no reason baby There ain't no rhyme There ain't no reason why We've been fighting all the time Maybe x5 it just wasn't meant to be Or maybe I'm just a fool Who believes in fate and destiny (Because you made me) There ain't no reason baby There ain't no rhyme There ain't no reason why We've been fighting all the time Maybe it's because you never trusted me And never ever ever let me in Or maybe our hearts were already broken From all the pain and the hurting There ain't no reason baby There ain't no rhyme There ain't no reason why We've been fighting all the time
