[English]

All my life

I've been looking for you

All my life

Parachute

When I free fall

Caught by a dream oh

Oh just in time

Yeah, I know what I'm chasing

I'm not scared of facing

All I was afraid of

Found the truth oh

What was unclear

Undone at the seams but

I shed that skin

Yeah, ain't no use in cavin'

I'm not scared of facing

All I was afraid of

All my life

I've been looking for you all my life

I've been searching for you day and night

Lift up your light and turn it on

All my life

I've been looking for you all my life

I've been searching for you day and night

Lift up your light and turn it on

Innocence

I let my guard down

A moment to breathe, to

Take it all in

There's no hesitating

These scars are fading

From all I was afraid of

All my life

I've been looking for you all my life

I've been searching for you day and night

Lift up your light and turn it on

All my life

I've been looking for you all my life

I've been searching for you day and night

Lift up your light and turn it on

All my life

I've been looking for you all my life

I've been searching for you day and night

Lift up your light and turn it on
