die gedanken sind frei
Die gedanken sind frei My thoughts freely flower Die gedanken sind frei My thoughts give me power No scholar can map them No hunter can trap them No man can deny Die gedanken sind frei  I think as I please And this gives me pleasure My conscience decrees This right I must treasure My thoughts will not cater To duke or dictator No man can deny Die gedanken sind frei Tyrants can take me And throw me in prison My thoughts will burst forth Like blossoms in season Foundations may crumble And structures may tumble But free men shall cry Die gedanken sind frei
