[English]

Have I seen you somewhere

Heard the wind calling names

Holding on

Holding on

Howling

I've been

Waiting for you out there

Heard the rain chanting pains

Holding on

A warning

It took some time and it took some hope

And like a coward I waited at home

I wrapped my hands around you in the dark

To see what happens to the heart

Take me up, then keep me high

Never let me go before you teach me how to fly

Take me up, then keep me high

Cause above the rain above the clouds It’s always bright

Hurricane! Come again!

Lift me up

Forgive me earth I’m going away

Did I see you stand there

Where the sun burns your air

I’m with you

I’m with you

Feel for you

I’ve been

Asking you hide away

When the storm on your way

I’m with you

I’m with you

I’m with you

Here for you

It took some time and it took some tears

To learn the lesson of killing fears

I’m breathing out and I release the hold

To see what happens to the soul

Take me up, then keep me high

Never let me go before you teach me how to fly

Take me up, then keep me high

Cause above the rain, above the clouds, It's always bright

Hurricane! Come again!

Lift me up

Forgive me earth, I’m going away

Hurricane! Come again!

Lift me up

Forgive me earth, I’m going away

Waiting for rain

Waiting sunrise paint the shade

Lying down, Waiting for the storm for so long

Alone

Take me up, then keep me high

Never let me go before you teach me how to fly

Take me up, then keep me high

Cause above the rain above the clouds, It's always bright

Hurricane! Come again!

Lift me up, Forgive me earth

I’m going away

Hurricane! Come again!

Lift me up, Forgive me earth

I’m going away
