lyrics

One moment I close my eyes and start having thoughts in my mind
Leaning from side to side finally reaching the sky
For an instant my physical sight is blind
So the power is mine, my surrounding’s redesigned
And all I see is signs of good times, smiles are shining
Redefining the space around and inside
Creating cloud nine, and a smooth sensation through
An intimate conversation between me and you
I find myself actualizing my vision

Next moment I open my eyes and Kids of all nations
Are laughin’ and runnin’ around on grasslands
Gathered, Nobody’s left aside they’re all friends
Playin’ soccer with a hand-made ball in the white sands
On a friendly island, with absence of violence
Still telling each other stories at the past tense
But nevertheless focusing on the present
From sundown to sunset, and sunset to sundown
No need for them to count seconds
What comes first isn’t time but moment
They find the deepest values in it and define themselves the concept
A step in life in its development
Their outlook and sense of unity are strong assets
Nearby the parents support and teach the essence
Through their beliefs, examples and experience
This togetherness sends positive messages to witness
I scribble down in front of this mental image. mental image, mental image
So rich
A society empowered by a social richness
Undoubtedly Inherited through cultural lineage
In which, elders, adults and youths
Grow up with the same roots and under the same roof
Exposed to the same groove and it’s a joyful loop
Standing from my imaginary point of view
I stare at the dreamy white clouds and think about the possibility that all of this is true... all of this is true
