[English]

Go shine like an oil spill

Rainbow and cartwheels

A dollar coin in the snow

Go fly like a kite

In the wind and you might

Not ever come down or come home

'Cause if life is an ocean

And love is an island

And freedom is a boat you can row

So let's go, ah, yeah

Oh, take a chance if it feels right

Dance 'neath the street lights

Get drunk and howl up at the moon

Sing loud and sing strong

Sing all the words wrong

But we sing your own tune

'Cause if life is a journey

Then love is a sign post

And freedom's a fork in the road

So let's go, ah, yeah

So go on sprinkle like starlight

Like Christmas and car lights

Like gold on an old wedding ring

That your grandmother gave you when she

Passed away, to teach you

People were more precious than things

Hey, hey, hey

Woah, ah, yeah

So maybe just one time

Lay 'neath the sunshine

See the faces and shapes in the clouds

Go out in the rain like a runaway train

And run till the road runs out

Live life, don't dream it

Love like you mean it

Be free as the river that flows

Let's go ah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, oh

...

Let's go ah, yeah
