My life is like water and I’m floating in the sea
But i have a root in the water
And it’s reaching stretching endlessly
My love flying in the sky
And far away from the water she lies
Sometimes big wave coming when I’m down
But soon i stand on up again

My life is like water and I’m floating in the sea
My soul is a stream on the water
I was born reaching endlessly

My life is like water and I’m floating in the sea
My soul is a stream on the water
I was born reaching endlessly
