LENA IS ‘WILD AND FREE’

The 2010 Eurovision Song contest winner Lena releases a new single accompanied with a wonderful video with shots of sunny beaches and tropical seas. “Wild & Free”, is taken from the soundtrack for Fack Ju Göhte 2, a German comedy following an ex-con turned teacher as he takes his students on a trip abroad.

Lena won in 2010 with “Satellite” as Germany’s entry. By representing a “big four” country, it was automatically qualified for the final. Germany received a wild card during the running order draw, which allowed the German representatives to pick the country’s position for the final. They chose position 22 out of the 25 spots.  22 was their lucky number that year. The song won over Turkey’s entry “We Could Be the Same” with a margin of 76 points, the third-biggest in Eurovision history, after Sweden’s participant Loreen managed a margin of 113 points in the 2012 contest and Alexander Rybak’s margin of 169 points in the 2009 contest. “Satellite” received the maximum 12 points nine times and received points from all but five countries.”Satellite” sold over 100,000 downloads in its first week, becoming Germany’s fastest selling digital release ever.

Lena – Wild & Free Lyrics

What if all the chips were down
And you feel you’ve hit the ground
And the truth is to be found
There’s a place where we can go
When the time has come we know
It’s engraved inside our soul
Here’s to being braver
Here’s to better days
We are standing stronger

Let’s go oh, oh, oho
Go oh, oh, oho
We are who we wanna be
Running wild and free, yeah
Let’s go oh, oh, oho
Go oh, oh, oho
We are more than powerful
It’s all possible

All the horses shake the dirt
Throw the dust back to the earth
A change is coming soon
And the new days gonna rise
And the sun will kiss the sky
Then the stars shine with the moon
Here’s to being braver
Here’s to better days
We are standing stronger

Let’s go oh, oh, oho
Go oh, oh, oho
We are who we wanna be
Running wild and free, yeah
Let’s go oh, oh, oho
Go oh, oh, oho
We are more than powerful
It’s all possible
Wild and free, yeah
Wild and free, yeah
Wild and free, yeah
Wild and free, yeah

We are the lionhearted
We are not afraid
We can be a burning light
And we will never fade

We are the lionhearted
We are not afraid
We can be a burning light
And we will never fade

Let’s go oh, oh, oho
Go oh, oh, oho
We are who we wanna be
Running wild and free, yeah
Let’s go oh, oh, oho
Go oh, oh, oho
We are who we wanna be
Running wild and free
Wild and free, yeah
Wild and free, yeah
Wild and free, yeah
Wild and free, yeah
Wild and free, yeah
Wild and free, yeah
Wild and free, yeah
