Once I was traveling across the sky
This lovely planet caught my eye
And being curious I flew close by
And non I’m caught here
Until I die
Until we die
Learning to live together
Learning to live together
Learning to live together
Till we die
I lost my memory of where I’ve been
We all forgot that se could fly
Someday we’ll all change into peaceful man
And we’ll return into the sky
Until we die
Until we die
Learning to live together
Learning to live together
Learning to live together
Till we die
Live together, yeah,
Learning to live together
Till we die
Learning to live together
Learning to live together
Learning to live together
Learning to live together
Till we die
Hum…Oh…
Ah… hum…
Until we die
Until we die
Learning to live together
Learning to live together
Learning to live together
Learning to live together
Learning to live together
To live together…
To live together…
To live together…
