"I Am"

I am hated by Germans yet innocent at heart.
I wonder what my fate is, though I know it is not up to me.
I hear prayers being said by those with me waiting for death by the firing squad.
I see my life flash before my eyes.
I am hated by Germans yet innocent at heart.

I pretend I am free, playing tag with my friends.
I feel like it's all over.
I like taking in the fresh air, yet I get little.
I worry about my family.
I am hated by Germans yet innocent at heart.

I understand what may happen.
I say it will all be okay to frantic people.
I dream of freedom.
I try to make the best out of the situation here in Goestling.
I am hated by Germans yet innocent at heart.
