German / Deutsch[]

Die Sonne scheint

Die Sonne scheint, das Wetter ist schön,
macht euch willig, euer Tanzbein zu schwingen.
Zur Errettung, hier bin ich,
will euch wissen lassen, euch alle, wo ich stehe.
(Montag morgen) hier bin ich,
will euch wissen lassen, nur wenn ihr könnt,
(Dienstag abend) wo ich stehe.
(Mittwoch morgen)
sag mir selbst, ein neuer Tag beginnt,
(Donnerstag abend) gelange zum Aufgang,
ein neuer Tag endet.
(Freitag morgen) hier bin ich.
(Samstag abend) will euch wissen lassen,
will euch nur wissen lassen, nur wo ich stehe.
Wenn der Morgen den Regenbogen erfasst,
will ich euch wissen lassen, ich bin ebenso ein Regenbogen.
Drum zur Errettung, hier bin ich,
will euch wissen lassen, nur wenn ihr könnt,
wo ich stehe, jetzt, jetzt, jetzt, jetzt, jetzt.
Wir werden unsere Hände erheben und Jah Lob und Preis geben,
wir werden unsere Hände erheben und Jah Lob und Preis geben, yeah!
Die Sonne scheint, das Wetter ist schön,
macht euch willig, euer Tanzbein zu schwingen.
Zur Errettung, hier bin ich,
will euch wissen lassen, nur wenn ihr könnt,
wo ich stehe.
Erwacht von eurem Schlaf und Schlummer,
heute könnte euer grosses Los sein.
Die Sonne scheint und das Wetter ist schön...
