[English]

Sunburnt wings I was losing light

Had a song in me, but it stayed inside

You pulled me low, but I wouldn't let go

The days were long and I lost my way

Had a fire, but it faded to gray

You held me down, but I rise right now

There's a voice inside that was made to shine

We fight it back but it's part of our life

Burns like July

Burns like July

Yeah, there's a fire inside, I won't let it hide

Been quiet too long, but I won't say goodbye

I wanna feel alive

And I don't care if I sing off key

I found my heart in the summer heat

I sing for love, I sing for me

I let it out like a wave set free

No, I don't care if I bend or break

My soul is strong like a tidal wave

I sing for truth, I sing for peace

I let it out like a wave set free

Set me free

Like a wave set free

Wash over me

Ocean breeze, you revive my flame

Heard your voice and I felt no shame

You pulled me in, showed me love again

Now I float where the pain can't stay

In your arms I can drift away

You lift me high like a new sunrise

There's a spark in us that we always knew

Tried to hide it but it always grew

It's burning bright

It's burning bright

Now we're standing tall, no need to disguise

This love we share is our wings to fly

We're finally alive

And I don't care if I sing off key

I found my heart in the summer heat

I sing for love, I sing for me

I let it out like a wave set free

No, I don't care if I fall too deep

You catch my soul when I'm lost at sea

I sing for hope, I sing for me

I let it out like a wave set free

Ooh, we were broken, but now we rise

Shouting louder under golden skies

No fear in the way, we're chasing the tide

Let the rhythm carry our cries

And I don't care if I sing off key

I found my truth in the summer breeze

I sing for love, I sing for me

I let it out like a wave set free

No, I don't care if the world can see

This is my voice, this is all of me

I sing for life, I sing for peace

I let it out like a wave set free

Like a wave set free

Like a wave set free

We're finally alive
