[English]

Who kicked a hole in the sky

So the heavens would cry over me?

...

Who stole the soul from the sun

In a world come undone at the seams?

...

Let there be love

...

Let there be love

...

I hope the weather is calm

As you sail up your heavenly stream

...

Suspended clear in the sky

Are the words that we sing in our dreams

...

Let there be love

...

Let there be love

...

Let there be love

...

Come on, baby blue

Shake up your tired eyes

The world is waiting for you

May all your dreaming fill the empty sky

...

But if it makes you happy

Keep on clapping

Just remember I'll be by your side

And if you don't let go, it's gonna pass you by

...

Who kicked a hole in the sky

So the heavens would cry over me?

...

Who stole the soul from the sun

In a world come undone at the seams?

...

Let there be love

...

Let there be love

...

Let there be love

...

Let there be love

...

Let there be love

...

Let there be love

...

Let there be love

...

Let there be love

...

Let there be love
