Lyrics & Translation
[English]
Armour let it through,Borne the arboretic truth you kept posing
Sat down in the suit,
Fixed on up it wasn't you by finished closing
Ramble in the roots, had the marvel,
Moved the proof be kneeled fine's glowing
Storing up the clues,
It had its sullen blue bruised through by showing
Settle past a patience
Where wishes and your will are spilling pictures
Water's running through in the valley
Where we grew to write this this scripture
Never gonna break
Never gonna break
Never gonna break
Never gonna break
Not for a part in any gamut of the dark
Doubled in the toes annex it,
It minute closed in the morning
Did not lose it in the stack's stow,
Imma lay that call back on ya
You know it won't beseech you,
We're laying in an open field
I will let you grow, no need to know this
So carry on my dear,
What is clear up in the daylight is we're hung here
Fall is coming soon,
A new year for the moon and the Hmong here
Never gonna break
Never gonna break
Never gonna break
Never gonna break
All that it seems
Bellows tracing through the streams
Never gonna break
Never gonna break
Never gonna break
Never gonna break
All at its seams
Swallows swelling for the beams
