lyrics

Treading on this unique dot of life,
an unparalleled
I believe it should be considered.

Open your eyes,
Unlock your chest,
Release your breath
Just feel the life

Can you feel how good it is to be alive… For a short time… Time flies
Why ? Look at this paradise… How can it be ?
I want to dwell here for eternity.

Sunlight, wind and snowflake, song of water.
Theses simple things we just want to delight in…

Take the time to live life to the full
No one should be deprived of this treasure…
This weird magic… Which sole happens once…
Only one time…
Take care of this oddness and share…
All the things you can to improve each existence….

We live on an unexplainable phenomenon called earth. We cannot say she is unique but we don’t know any twins. It is the only home we have in our solar system, the only home we know in the cosmos.

There is no plan B, why should we need one ? Can we not preserve what we have ? Can’t we pay attention to this beauty ? Cannot we improve ourselves and admit what we are doing wrong to build something better ?

Why not abandon our vices to continue with the best we have ? I don’t believe on this rotten humanity. We can be more. We can be fair. We can just share…

We can heal our wounds, we can do better.
You think it’s naïve ? Call it as you want.
This is an energy, this is a hope
This is a reason to go on in this world.
Why would we only think the worst things ?
Give us some space, some strength to dream of utopias.
