lyrics
Its a new day,
It’s a wonderful world
I am happy to be here finally
not everything’s fine
but for the very first time
I am happy to here finally
I’ve been sweating blood
I’ve been sweating tears
Now I am happy to be here finally
i had fever dreams
I thought this was the end
Now I am happy to be here finally
ACCORDING TO LAW
AFTER THE WAR
RECONSTRUCTION BEGINS
TIME TO RESTORE
I’m leaving the cave
get used to the light
I am happy to be here finally
I’m breathing the air
Feel the rain on my skin
I am happy to be here finally
Slowly building a home
Slowly building a life
I am happy to be here finally
And it’s soothing to know
that after the flood
it will go on
no matter what
ACCORDING TO LAW
AFTER THE WAR
RECONSTRUCTION BEGINS
TIME TO RESTORE
TIME TO RESTORE
ACCORDING TO LORE
AFTER THE SORE
THE OBSTRUCTION BEGINS
TIME TO IGNORE
TIME TO IGNORE
a figure appeared out of the blue
TO PICK ME UP TO PICK ME UP
TO BUILD ME UP TO BUILD ME UP
TO LIFT ME UP TO LIFT ME UP
TO RAISE ME UP TO RAISE ME UP
TO WAKE ME UP TO WAKE ME UP
TO BACK ME UP TO BACK ME UP
TO PULL ME UP TO PULL ME UP
TO GET ME UP TO GET ME UP
TO LIFT ME UP TO LIFT ME UP
TO RAISE ME UP TO RAISE ME UP
TO WAKE ME UP TO WAKE ME UP
TO PICK ME UP TO PICK ME UP
TO BUILD ME UP TO BUILD ME UP
