[English]

I thought I was a star

Until I started fading

From the sky I freefall

Every single day I

Go out look up at where I'm from

'Cause I thought I was a star (oh)

How long

Tell me how long

Can this go on?

Like we're floating in the arms of God

We're the wild ones, we're the wild ones

And we rage on

'Til we're blazing in the sun

...

I thought we'd gone too far

We started walking on the water

Felt like we'd been reborn

When we woke up in Nirvana

Up in the clouds not coming down 'cause

I thought we'd gone too far (oh)

How long

Tell me how long

Can this go on?

Like we're floating in the arms of God

We're the wild ones, we're the wild ones

And we rage on

'Til we're blazing in the sun

...

We got hearts

Hearts they'll never tame

That's who we are

We'll burn the night away

We'll ride this wave

And no we'll never fall

Can you hear the call?

Can you hear the call of the wild ones?

We're the wild ones, and we rage on

'Til we're blazing in the sun (let's go)

...

How long, tell me how long

Can this go on?

Like we're floating in the arms of God

We're the wild ones, we're the wild ones

And we rage on

'Til we're blazing in the sun

...
