lyrics

SINK OR SWIM
With the pangs / in my stomach
that accompany me
since I was born
I'm trying to find a cure
for my discomfort.
I wish my doctor could
ease this pain
but neither pills
nor special treatment / are needed.

warm is the cure
light of the day that maybe

one day will rise again
melting the thin ice
inside the cold human heart
resigned to the pain

'm fighting for
something good
for a rose
that blooms
in a green field / as every other
life /on the /Earth.

It's something worth fighting for

To build and not to destroy
to unite and not to divide
to walk on the edge
without ever falling.
Only who falls surrenders
and they are the ones
who sink into the abyss.
getting back once you've fallen
it's not easy
it has always been

harder than falling down.
Do you want to sink or to swim?
