Intro:
Dm
Verse 1:
Dm C
We were children in the rubble and the rain,
Gm Dm
Little hands that cleared the pain.
Dm C
Bricks and ash beneath our feet,
Bb Dm
Learning loss before we’d eat.
Verse 2:
Dm C
Then came work and rising light,
Gm Dm
Factory days and neon nights.
Dm C
From shattered streets to steady ground,
Bb C Dm
The Wirtschaftswunder humming sound.
Chorus:
F C
From broken stone to open sky,
Dm Am
We watched the wounded nation rise.
Bb C
Years roll on, but hearts stay strong—
Bb C Dm
Hold to hope, keep moving on.
Dm
Verse 3:
Dm C
Seventies wind and eighties fear,
Gm Dm
Cold War shadows drawing near.
Dm C
Sirens in the midnight air,
Bb Dm
Still we dreamed beyond despair.
Verse 4:
Dm C
Nineties bells began to ring,
Gm Dm
Walls came down, and crowds would sing.

Through the new millennium’s light,
Bb C Dm
We prayed for peace, for what is right.
Chorus:
F C
From broken stone to open sky,
Dm Am
We watched the wounded nation rise.

Years roll on, but hearts stay strong—

Hold to hope, keep moving on.
Verse 5:
Dm C
Now we’re older, silver-haired,
G Dm
See old ghosts again declared.
Bb C
Marching chants we thought were gone—
Bb C Dm
History’s echo sounding on.
Verse 6:
Dm C
But sparks ignite in crowded streets,
Gm Dm
More refuse to bow in defeat.
C
Stand up tall, don’t ever forget—
Bb Dm
Never again is now—never again is now.
Chorus:
F C
From broken stone to open sky,
Dm Am
We watched the wounded nation rise.
Bb C
Time moves on, the fight’s not done—
Bb C Dm
Lose not hope—our song lives on.
Bridge:
Bb C
We’ve seen a nation fall before,
Dm
Heard the drums of hate and war.
C
If we’re silent, shadows grow—
Bb
If we stand, the light will show.
Never again is now.
C
Never again is now.
Chorus:
Bb C
From broken stone to open sky,
Bb C
We watched the wounded nation rise.
Bb C
Through every age, through every vow—
Bb C Dm
Never lose hope. Never again is now.
Chorus:
F C
From children of the dust and flame
Dm Am
To elders who still guard the name,
Bb C
Life goes on, we take the vow—
Bb C Dm
Never again is now.
