First Night in Berlin -

New to the city and so much to see.

You came to greet me,

no better place to be.

Follow me, there’s much to see

and friends to meet;

here’s to your first day

on this Berlin street.

Five months have gone now,

a war is declared;

friends now ignore me,

their hands are stained red.

They move in crowds

and sing aloud,

ready for war…

«Deutschland Deutschland,

Will conquer all».

I walk through the city,

the picture looks bleak.

Can’t draw attention;

in their language i’ll speak.

«Are you, English?»

I just can’t admit;

where will I go to?
