A twelve year old boy and his little sister Were outside down the square playing hide and seek This droning sound came, a kind of sinister Trucks appeared spreading smelly diesel reek Slowly they approached, roaring and rattling He grabbed his sister by the hand while they watched them go Got a wink from a guy, smiling and waving Easy they passed by and they stopped at their home An officer screaming, urged his men on Soldiers rushed down the placed and smashed the frontdoor Paralised with fear, there they stood all alone Mother crying, what the hell they're looking for Then their father came out, pointed with a gun Hands behind his head, they forced him to obey Eyes were searchin, his girl and his son The very last glimpse then they took him away That day they were searching Will it ever be like it used to be They were searching In the heat of the night They were calling his name It came all by surprise Will it ever be the same War passed by, man was released Time for celebration, a family reunite But the country was divided, in west and east He found himself free, but on the wrong side That day they were searching Will it ever be like it used to be They were searching In the heat of the night They were calling his name It came all by surprise Will it ever be the same After 45 years, a new Germany A man stood up to claim his property Yellow coloured documents from the good old days Were safe on the backseat, in a dancin' suitcase The lodges were empty, when he crossed the border Riding back in time, the road grew worse On the way to a part of his childhood In a land of nowhere, just dismissed from a curse That day they were searching Will it ever be like it used to be They were searching In the heat of the night They were calling his name It came all by surprise Will it ever be the same It will never be the same It will never be the same It will never be the same It will never be the same Never, never be the same
