lyrics

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
