Ich muss durch den Monsun,
Hinter die Welt,
Ans Ende der Zeit,
Bis kein Regen mehr fällt,
Gegen den Sturm,
Am Abgrund entlang,
Und wenn ich nicht mehr kann, denk'ich daran,
Irgendwann laufen wir zusammen,
Weil uns einfach nichts mehr halten kann,
Durch den Monsun, dann wird alles gut,
Durch den Monsun,
Dann wird alles gut

Ich muss durch den Monsun,
Hinter die Welt,
Ans Ende der Zeit,
Bis kein Regen mehr fällt,
Gegen den Sturm,
Am Abgrund entlang,
Und wenn ich nicht mehr kann, denk'ich daran,
Irgendwann laufen wir zusammen,
Weil uns einfach nichts mehr halten kann,
Durch den Monsun, dann wird alles gut,
Durch den Monsun,
Dann wird alles gut
