[English]

You've found yourself alone in a room

Total devastation

In the darkness you must enter the code

And crack the combination all on your own

Pick Yourself up and search for the light

Hungry for a new start

It's your chance now to stand up and fight

Take the next step now a day at a time

Open Up, open up, everybody's waiting

From high above

Feel the love

Open up your windows

Let in the sun

Let in the sun

Let in the sun

Just let in the sun

Good to see you with your feet on the track

Waiting for a restart

Leaving all that once what was holding you back

Want you to see the sun rise as fast as you can

Pick it up, turn it round

Want you to see the sun rise as fast as you can

Open Up, open up, everybody's waiting

From high above

Feel the love

Open up your windows

Let in the sun

Let in the sun

Let in the sun

Just let in the sun

Feel the air and breathe it in

Feel the warmth upon your skin

Looking out and looking in

Oh

Every colour in your eyes

In reflection of the light

Every minute, everynight

Open up, open up, everybody's waiting

From high above

Feel the love

Open up your windows

Let in the sun

Let in the sun

Let in the sun

Let in the sun

Just let in the sun

Oh let in the sun, let in the sun

Let in the sun.
