Tell me what will happen to us when the darkness comes behind the clouds?
My little heart is beating and I pray God to give us sun. To give sun to each of us.

Sadness is far away but I’m not afraid anymore when you’re with me
My voice is spread all over the Earth like crystal pure water.

I’m here and I’m going to be here forever, but my power is you
I exist. Look at me!! My voice is like healing water.

Tell me, what will happen next, when we become older?
I pray for the moment when everybody finds love in their hearts

Sadness is far away and I’m not afraid anymore when you’re with me
My voice is spread all over the Earth like crystal pure water.
