The twinkling of stars upon the rippling water The dewdrops at dawn, a symphony of plants
There's a lonely throbbing you can feel through the palm of your hand We'll be lost together, heart to heart
Try not to let the way you look decide for you Leave the scary stuff up to me so you don't have to bare your claws
At some point you grew up, and the shape of your blood, the sound of your voice And even your eyelashes are all proof that you're alive
You ride with the wind, you get rained on And have the sun shine down on you, you are alive So take them in your hands, let's put our feet on the ground, and let the song of life ring out
The twinkling of stars upon the rippling water The dewdrops at dawn, a symphony of plants A small life, reaching out to grab fingertips The clear sky above, the door of the world
There's a lonely throbbing you can feel through the palm of your hand We'll be lost together, heart to heart
Try not to let the way you look decide for you Leave the scary stuff up to me so you don't have to bare your claws
At some point you grew up, and the shape of your blood, the sound of your voice And even your eyelashes are all proof that you're alive
You ride with the wind, you get rained on And have the sun shine down on you, you are alive Squint your eyes, perk up your ears And leave the darkness, for you are alive There's a surprising array of colors and sounds overflowing in this world Now when you take them in your hands and place your feet onto the ground The song of life rings out
This place is great, isn't it? And if you stand right there It's like you can see the whole world from up here
There aren't a lot of things I can teach you, but I can say That we're looking at the same air and the same scenery
At some point, the clouds turn white in the twilight, what shapes do you see? Someday, you'll leave on a journey, but even then, you don't need to worry about becoming anything
You ride with the wind, you get rained on And have the sun shine down on you, go live your life Squint your eyes, perk up your ears Leave the darkness, and go live your life There's a surprising array of colors and sounds overflowing So take them in your hands, let's put our feet on the ground, and let the song of life ring out
English version
English
Feel the power of the sea And the bright and shining stars A drop of breaking dawn All the earth's in symphony On a touch of a fingertip Even just a tiny soul A sky so wide and bright You can open all the doors
You're overthinking everything It makes you all confused A lonely heart and soul Right in the palm of your hands
Don't ever let your sight decide Who to trust and to believe Never let the fear in your heart Give you a reason to start a fight
One day you'll start to see Gets better every day You'll feel it in your heart Can hear it in your voice Can see it in your eyes It's all what you become It's all of the proof you got here
So ride along the wind And go through heavy rain Let the light fall into you Believe a brighter life So open up your eyes Try to listen to the sound Even through the darkest nights Believe a brighter life You'll be surprised to find The colors bright and free The sound and energy The world is full of life So take my hand we'll go A step to reach a goal We'll sing it out and loud And tell it to the world
It's such a lovely place to be Standing here beside you And right now as I open my eyes I see the world I'm dreaming about
I may not have the words to tell you But I know you understand Walking to the same direction So I know you feel what I feel
One day you'll start to see The darkness in the sky Will turn to brighter days Believe it in your heart Someday you'll realize The journey that you have Will make you rise and fall Just hold on to your dreams
So ride along the wind And go through heavy rain Let the light fall into you Believe a brighter life So open up your eyes Try to listen to the sound Even through the darkest nights Believe a brighter life You'll be surprised to find The colors bright and free The sound and energy The world is full of life So take my hand we'll go A step to reach a goal We'll sing it out and loud And send it to the world
