[Verse 1: Peter Maffay, Peter Maffay & Johnny Tame]
He was born in '53, in a better time, they said
He will see a better life
He was educated normally, to be a normal man
And they taught him to survive

[Chorus: Peter Maffay & Johnny Tame]
Don't try to run
You're not alone
Boy, try to stay
There'll be a way

[Verse 2: Peter Maffay, Peter Maffay & Johnny Tame]
But then, in '68, he was likely to agree
With the running for success
But suddenly, he knew there must be another way
He was searchin' from this day on

[Chorus: Peter Maffay & Johnny Tame, Peter Maffay]
Don't try to run
You're not alone
Boy, try to stay
There'll be a way
I tell you now, don't try to run
You're not alone
Boy, try to stay
Thеre'll be a way
[Instrumental]

[Chorus: Peter Maffay & Johnny Tame, Peter Maffay]
Don't try to run
You're not alonе
Boy, try to stay
There'll be a way
I tell you now, don't try to run
You're not alone
Boy, try to stay
There'll be a way
