Have you ever felt in love?
A moment where no problems would ever get you down
Free as an eagle but only for a day, yeah listen
The final is a warning,
Wake up before you go
There'll be no second chances,
That day you're on your own
Let out the feelings,
Tomorrow may not come
All alone in the dark,
Move the curtains for once
See the light life has brought,
Or goodbye forever
Take the arms that embrace,
No more being afraid
Feel the sun on your face,
Or goodbye forever
Were you listening to the evening?
Have you ever felt the dawn?
When everything around you told stories from the world
Dear mother nature speaks louder than you know, oh listen
The final is a warning,
Wake up before you go
There'll be no second chances,
That day you're on your own
Let out the feelings,
Tomorrow may not come
All alone in the dark,
Move the curtains for once
See the light life has brought,
Or goodbye forever
Take the arms that embrace,
No more being afraid
Feel the sun on your face,
Or goodbye forever
We are the birth
We are the end
We are the souls
We have a name
We are the rising and fallen ones
We are the spirit forever more
We are the birth
We are the end
We are the souls
We have a name
We are the rising and fallen ones
We are the spirit forever more
All alone in the dark,
Move the curtains for once
See the light life has brought,
Or goodbye forever
Take the arms that embrace,
No more being afraid
Feel the sun on your face,
Or goodbye forever
All alone in the dark,
Move the curtains for once
See the light life has brought,
Or goodbye forever
Take the arms that embrace,
No more being afraid
Feel the sun on your face,
Or goodbye forever
