Ich bin ein Berliner (John F. Kennedy)

​[Strophe 1]
The world is watching this island of light
Surrounded by shadows in the middle of the night
You are the gatekeepers, the shield, and the heart
Of a world that refused to be broken apart.

​[Chorus]
[Spoken Word]
"Two thousand years ago the proudest boast was 'civis Romanus sum.'
Today, in the world of freedom, the proudest boast is 'Ich bin ein Berliner.'"

​[Strophe 2]
There are some who don’t see, or who claim not to know
The difference between where we stay and we go
Freedom is hard, and the road may be long
But here in this city, we’re singing the song.

​[Bridge]
[Spoken Word]
"All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin,
and, therefore, as a free man, I take pride in the words 'Ich bin ein Berliner.'"

​[Final Chorus]
The walls may be high, but the spirit is higher
A spark in the dark that has set us on fire
[Spoken Word]
"Today, in the world of freedom, the proudest boast is 'Ich bin ein Berliner.'"

​[Outro]
[Spoken Word]
"Ich bin ein Berliner."
