The drums will bring you home
then our hands will do the talking..
and we will be united!
diamonds for a kiss
and if there's a god?, say it isn't your turn
we can, we're strong, we'll beat it!
Writing everything down
in order to keep track of time, I
the scent, the day, this moment!
with hands covering my eyes
shadows they're good
then i know there's light
