Look at you, looking at me
Out of the darkness
Unknown, alone, unfree
I am a warning
I am a warning from history
Look at me, I look like a boy - they said
Left side, right side, and ahead
The girl next door I will not be
I am a warning
I am a warning from history
The girl next door says I don't ‘fit in'
Sees my friend, ‘she looks like a Jew'
(It's my sexuality too)
Signs a letter, denouncing me
I am a warning
I am a warning from history
I welcome Jews and all nationalities
I despise your Nuremberg laws
I know the death camp waits for me
I am a warning
I am a warning from history
I look at you, now look at me
Out of the darkness
Unknown, alone, unfree
I am a warning
I am a warning from history
