Lyrics & Translation
[English]
Slipped into a reverie, I can see a better meThings that's heavenly like love and melody
Fly high, my wings propelling me
To the heights of angels that dwell at me
These are the flights that I take with family
They keep you grounded by understandin' me
I stand under the rain it feels powerful
Same force that make all the flowers bloom
Same force we come from, me and you
The same force that made you so valuable
I say don't let the world take it out of you
I say don't let the world take it out of you
We livin' in times, tryin' to hold on
Sayin' what's goin' on like the old song
People feeling naked with their clothes on
They wanna go home, I tell 'em, "Go strong"
A lot of sayers, we need more doers
Stay true to the one that run through us
Hold on when they try to subdue us
Old mind-state, they never really knew us
Inner visions, reminiscing
On our conditions, no pot to piss in
We the children of a mission
When freedom calls, we gotta listen
