Did you write for Sellie Engler?
Did you whisper in her ear,
Did you speak to Lotte Hahm
Things she would maybe need to hear?
.
Did you strike fear in the Stasi,
Of woman loving woman,
An offence to the Nazis
They'd try to silence one by one.
.
Did you visit Violetta,
Dance with ladies in Berlin,
Were you there when love was shattered
Like the glass they trampled in.
.
Are you here with us this day
As all the terrors rise again,
Will you be there as we’re taken,
Give us strength to rise within.
