Let's assume my head was still and feather-light
And I got along with myself, had my mind free
If I could finally decide without it tearing me apart
Would I then be happy (happy), happy (happy)?
If I had seen the whole world, down to the smallest village
Would I still be restless or would that be enough for me?
Is there a place where I say, "I'll stay here until the last day"?
And would I be happy (happy), happy (happy) there?

Man, I know myself that the world isn't like that, it's more complicated
Everything planned and then the opposite happens

But all that almost drives me to despair
First it kills me and then it moves me forward
Because everything comes as it must
Remains so certain until the end
And all that makes me stronger and maybe also

Someday happy
Someday happy

Let's assume I was already old, my hair white
Had experienced a lot and learned even more in all that time
If I already knew today what I would know at eighty
Would I be happy (happy) happy (happy) now?
And if I were always happy without a gray day
Everything ran smoothly and perfectly and just as planned
If my life went straight, without ups and downs
Would that be happy, happy?

Man, I know myself that the world isn't like that, it's more complicated
Everything planned and then the opposite happens

But all that almost drives me to despair
First it kills me and then it moves me forward
And because everything comes as it must
Remains so certain until the end
And all that makes me stronger and maybe also

Someday happy
Someday happy
Someday happy
Someday happy

But all that almost drives me to despair
First it kills me and then it moves me forward
And because everything comes as it must
Remains so certain until the end
And all that makes me stronger and maybe also
Someday happy
