Ich wei dass auf der Strae hier kein einziger Baum mehr stand
Ruinen in den Himmel ragten schwarz und leergebrannt
Und ber Bombenkrater hingen Wind von Staub und Ru
Ich stolperte in Schuhen viel zu gro fr meinen Fu
Neben meiner Mutter her die Feldmtze ber den Ohren
Es war Winter '46 ich war 4 und halbgefroren
Ber Trmmerfelder und durch Wlder von verglhtem Stahl
Und wenn ich heut die Augen schliee seh ich alles noch ein Mal
Das war mein Berlin, mein Berlin, mein Berlin
In leeren BOllerwagen ber Kopfsteinpflaster ziehn
Das war mein Berlin
Da warn Schlagbume, da waren Straensperren ber Nacht
Dann das Drhnen in der Luft und da war die ersehnte Fracht
Der Dacotas und der Skymasters und sie wendeten das Blatt
Und wir ahnten die Vlker der Welt schauten auf diese Stadt
Da waren auch meine Schultage in dem roten Backsteinbau
Lange Strmpfe kurze Hosen und ich wurd und wurd nicht schlau
Dann der Junitag als der Potsdammer Platz in Flammen stand
Ich sah Menschen gegen Panzer kmpfen mit der bloen Hand
Das war mein Berlin, mein Berlin, mein Berlin
Menschen die im Kugenhagel ihrer Menschenbrder fliehn
Das war mein Berlin
Da war meine Sturm-und-Drang-Zeit und ich sah ein Stck der Welt
Und kam heim und fand die Hlfte meiner Welt war zugesperrt
Da warn Fenster hassdicht zugemauert und bei manchem Haus
Hingen zwischen Steinen noch die Vorhnge zum Westen raus
Wie oft hab ich mir die Sehnsucht wie oft meinen Verstand
Wie oft hab ich mir den Kopf an dieser Mauer eingerannt
Wie oft bin ich dran verzweifelt, wie oft stand ich sprachlos da
Wie oft hab ich sie gesehn, bis ich sie schlielich nicht mehr sah
Das war mein Berlin, mein Berlin, mein Berlin
Widerstand und Widersprche, Wirklichkeit und Utopie
Das war mein Berlin
Ich wei, dass auf der Strae hier kein einzger Baum mehr stand
Ruinen in den Himmel ragten schwarz und leergebrannt
Jetzt steh ich hier nach soviel Jahrn und glaub es einfach nicht
Die Bume die hier stehn sind fast genauso alt wie ich
Mein ganzes Leben hab ich in der halben Stadt gelebt
Was sag ich jetzt wo ihr mir auch die andre Hlfte gebt
Jetzt steh ich hier und meine Augen sehen sich nicht satt
An diesen Bildern Freiheit endlich Freiheit ber meiner Stadt
Das ist mein Berlin, mein Berlin, mein Berlin
Gibts ein schn'res Wort fr Hoffnung, Aufrecht gehen nie mehr knien
Das ist mein Berlin
