Where I´m from there are no mountains
And time is standing still
Where I´m from there´s barely space left
Still they´re running up a hill
Where I´m from they don´t like changes
Even if alarm bells ring
Where I´m from they have a princess
Where I´m from they have a king

Where I´m from they don´t like dreamers
They are told to shut their mouth
Where I´m from they´re divided
Between the North and the South
Where I´m from it´s like a long night
That never turns to day
Where I´m from the kingdom´s trembling
Where I´m from they´ve lost the way

Sing it loud today
Sing it loud today
I´m singing it loud today
I am the one that got away

Where I´m from they just keep rooted
Heads are always hanging low
Where I´m from the Congo River
Never got nowhere to go
Where I´m from words are repeated
But they never really rhyme
Where I´m from the kingdom´s trembling
Where I´m from they´re losing time

Where I´m from there´s a lack of heroes
Both in politics and song
Where I´m from the more they fix it
The faster everything goes wrong
Where I´m from I still remember
So I will sing it every day
That this kingdom is still my kingdom
It´s encoded in my DNA
