[English]
I break down, fear is sinking inThe cold comes, racing through my skin
Searching for a way to get to you through the storm
You go, giving up your home
Go, leaving all you've known
You are not alone
With arms up, stretched into the sky
With eyes like echoes in the night
Hiding from the hell that you've been through, silent one
You go, giving up your home
Go, leaving all you've known
You go, giving up your home
Go, leaving all you've known
You are not alone
You go, giving up your home
Go, leaving all you've known
You go, giving up your home
Go, you are not unknown
You are not alone
You are not unknown
You are not alone
