[English]

well I see no reason why I can't come

along I the sound of each rock and

stone and I embrace what others

fear you are not to roam in this

for everything breath and I know each

breath for me it means

life for others it's death it's

perfectly Balan perfectly

plan more than enough for

[Music]

this like every tree stands on it

[Music]

own reaching for the sky I stand alone I

share my world with no one

all by

myself I stand

[Music]

alone I've seen your

world these very eyes

coming it

closer don't

even I felt all the pain and all the LI

but in my world

there's like every

tree stands on it

owning for the sky I stand alone I share

my world with no one else all by

myself I

stand all by

myself I

stand all

by

[Music]

myself I stand alone

too Aiden

I just need your help this once

[Music]
