[English]

Step out into the dawn

You pray 'til, you pray 'til the lights come on

And then you feel like you've just been born

...

Yeah, you come to raise me up

When I'm beaten and broken up

And now I'm back in the arms I love

And I think I just died

I think I just died

Yeah, I think I just died

I think I just died

And went to Heaven

(Ooh, oh, ooh, oh, ooh, oh)

...

And went to Heaven

(Ooh, oh, ooh, oh, ooh, oh)

Woah-oh-oh

Beaten and bathed in blood

I'm hit by, I'm hit by your love and drug

And now you've c-come to raise me up

(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)

And I think I just died

I think I just died

Yeah, I think I just died

...

And went to Heaven

(Ooh, oh, ooh, oh, ooh, oh)

(Ooh, oh, ooh, oh, ooh, oh)

And went to Heaven

(Ooh, oh, ooh, oh, ooh, oh)

Woah-oh-oh, and went to Heaven

...

Ooh, oh!

...

It's such a night, such a beautiful night

It's such a view, such a beautiful sight

I think I just, oh, I think I just died, oh-oh-oh

And went to Heaven

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)

And went to Heaven

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh) Oh, yeah

Woah-oh-oh, yeah

We're gonna be birds and fly

We're gonna set the world alight

We're gonna lose ourselves tonight

Woah-oh-oh

We're gonna be birds and fly

We're gonna set the world alight

We're gonna lose ourselves tonight

Oh-oh-oh, in Heaven (Heaven)
