Where is the sun?

You're numb and dumb

Please I need the seeds of change

It’s wearing a new dream

It's ripping at the seams

I've come undone

And there is one place left to run and that is

Never let yourself give in

When you're trying to start again

Put on your dreams and let’s go

I've come so far and gone so low

I've fallen in decay

Always try to find a way out and up to better days

Are waiting for me

And I will come dressed up in dreams

Never let yourself give in

When you're trying to start again

Put on your dreams and let’s go

I won't give up at all

I want the freedom to dream the impossible

I will make it real.
