Lyrics:

[English]

Lying here wide awake on my own now

Silence is the loudest cry

I'm safe but I've lost everything I've known

I can smile because the pain has gone

But cry because it's where I'm from

O God I turn to You to make me strong again, oh

One day I can reach that rainbow

Watch the sweet reflection

Shining off my first home

I'd give anything to see my family again

And say how much I love them

That's all I imagine

One day

I wish I could go back tomorrow

If it's only for just one second

Put warmth back into a town that's frozen

I can smile because the pain has gone

But cry because it's where I'm from

O God I turn to You to make me strong again, oh

One day I can reach that rainbow

Watch the sweet reflection

Shining off my first home

I'd give anything to see my family again

And say how much I love them

That's all I imagine

I have cried so many times

And all those tears have washed my eyes

Now I see clearly into the light

'Cause I believe

I know one day I'll be home again

To start a new life, with peace everywhere

Right from the start until the end

I believe that one day

I can reach that rainbow

One day, one day

I believe that one day

One day

I believe that one day

I can reach that rainbow

Watch the sweet reflection

Shining off my first home

I'd give anything to see my family again

And say how much I love them

That's all I imagine

One day, one day
