You wake upWrapped in your dreamsYou start to stretch like a cat
The sun shinesIt’s Sunday morningAnd I feel free as a bird
And I love youThe grain of your skinSpreads sparkles in me
We’re lazyWe share a few kissesEmbrace tenderly
We’ll leave the world behind and keep leaning in the sunIs time really passing by or are we kind of eternal?
In the airFlavours of fresh breadAnd delicious coffee
The bell rungEleven timesIt could have been billions more(and)OutsideChildren are playingWe hear them laughing

I knowYou enjoy itThough you’ve never really loved me
Whatever we are and whatever we feelThere are precious moments we should never throw away
In the beauty of this morning, we’ll just pretend to be oneWe’ll try to find a name for the kids we’ll never haveWhatever we are and whatever we feelThere are precious moments we should never throw away

There ain’t nobody that I knowThat walks full of libertyWe’re cursed and our bodies curl upHow can’t we speak out against it ?
We’re like stuck in a winterWhere the cold pinches our skinThe wind does squeeze in everywhereFreezing our faces with fear
Can we stop ?
Can we change ?Can we try to do something useful in the end?
I‘ll call the sun and warm you upI’ll say Don’t give in, keep it up,Have some food and have a restAnd let your soul just do the rest
I know your hearts are differentPlease stop smothering their beats!I know your inner nature manI know you could be innocent!

Can we stop ?
Can we change ?Can we try to do something useful in the end?

In all my dreams you stand up freeAnd proudly give that look at meI would see how life is strongFlowing from your gigantic eyes
I’d say Happy, I’m so happy!I’m gonna paint myself in greenI’m gonna jump like a hopperAbove the seas above the skies
Can we stop ?
Can we change ?Can we try to do something useful in the end?

Ye shang hai, bu ye cheng.
