Poetry is pouring out,
Dreams are overflowing,
The door is opening wide,
There are no obstacles, come!
The rain hasn't stopped,
My words don't stumble,
The heart is brightening up,
Come, let us fly!
What shall we name this horse of imagination?
To store up all that we see and hear,
Why hold on to petty worries here?
Just change the way you think!
Hey, this is a world of our own,
To gather every time we fall and rise,
Ha, a new verse is born every single day,
And our song will keep playing from now on!
A new dance shows in the way you walk,
With your words, the enemy's barriers break down,
In your golden smile, passing years fade away,
Ah, shall I take you a little further along? Ah...
The clouds hopping and leaping across the sky
Gather on their own and bloom into flowers,
Leave it behind with yesterday; the sorrow is gone,
The riverside breeze comes to sing a lullaby,
Celebration and joy,
Music and cheerful fun,
There is no end to our song!
Chorus: There is no end to our song!
Hey, this is a world of our own,
To gather every time we fall and rise,
Ha, a new verse is born every single day,
And our song will keep playing from now on!
