There's a new kind of challenge
it's colours are gold and blue
it's got a circle of stars
shining for me and you
Let's all give it a shot
ready or not
it's our destiny
Human blood is one colour
so let's make history
It's just a little step
in mankindis dream
one world united - in liberty
Chorus
thumbs up for europe
thumbs up for europe
thumbs up for europe - you and me
thumbs up germany
So just say what you mean
and mean what you say - or shut up
it takes a whole lot of courage
to kill all your "ifs" and "buts"
I don't say that it's easy
we gotta be tough
so c'mon everybody - we're kickin' off
Chorus
