Hometown
(Where Are You Going)
���
Music: Thomas Karl
Lyrics: Ingo Baier
�
Once upon a time you had a name
This name was known for worldwide fame
For wealth and life and prettiness
You island in the wilderness
Your products were wanted all across the land
For many years you could expand
Fiercest wars couldn't stop your growing
Oh my hometown where are you going?

You were a centre of industry and commerce
For celebrities the place of birth
Your congress was number one in the world
In poems you were called a pearl
All this is only history
And the reasons are no mystery

Where are you going?
All your former fame is flowing
Away to the eternal distance
And in you there is no resistance

Your governors are foes of cars
Economy and cultural stars
Industry says: "Not with us"
So another place will get a plus
In wealth and life and prettiness
Things that once stood who can guess
For my hometown now a dying city
For many people it's a pity
But I must say it is a shame
And only governors to blame

Where are you going?
All your former fame is flowing
Away to the eternal distance
And in you there is no resistance
Oh my hometown where are you going?
