Child of the Universe
The sun is only a star
Around that star we spin
But there are many other stars
Where do we fit in?
I am only a grain of sand
Tossed by water and wind
And there are many grains of sand
Where do I fit in?
Child of the universe
Let your spirit fly
You are the special one
And here’s the reason why – you’re a
Child of the universe
So climb your mountains high
You are the chosen one
So try and touch the sky!
Tell me, what can I aim for
In a world that’s quickly changing?
Tell me what my purpose is
Where do I fit it?
Shall I follow a dream
Or are dreams just made for children?
But all of us are children now
There’s where I fit in.
Child of the universe
Let your spirit fly
You are the special one
And here’s the reason why – you’re a
Child of the universe
So climb your mountains high
You are the chosen one
So try and touch the sky!
I’ve been dreaming, friendly faces
I’ve got so much time to kill.
Just imagine people laughing
I know some day we will.
And even if it’s far away
Get me through another day.
Cover me in sunshine
Shower me with good times
Tell me that the world’s been spinning since the beginning
And everything’ll be alright,
Cover me in sunshine.
From a distance all these mountains
Are just some tiny hills.
Wildflowers, they keep living
While they’re just standing still.
I’ve been missing yesterday
But what if there’s a better place?
Cover me in sunshine
Shower me with good times
Tell me that the world’s been spinning since the beginning
And everything’ll be alright.
Cover me in sunshine
Shower me with good times
Tell me that the world’s been spinning since the beginning
And everything’ll be alright,
Cover me in sunshine.
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
Cover me in sunshine
Shower me with good times
Tell me that the world’s been spinning since the beginning
And everything’ll be alright,
Cover me in sunshine.
Keep on breathing, clear and strong,
Let your breathing become your song.
Sing it joyful, sing it true,
Hope will breathe through the world with you.
Sing for the spring in the step,
Glint in the eye, sun in the sky!
Sing for the cat on the lap,
Blue butterfly, love in a sigh!
Breathe in the hope in the air,
Sing it everywhere!
Sing for the flower in the hair,
Candle alight, fire burning bright!
Sing for the bird in the air,
Kite in full flight, star in the night!
Breathe in the hope in the air,
Sing it everywhere!
Become your song!
Sing for the bud on the tree,
Kid on a swing, bee on the wing,
Sing for the moon on the sea,
Bells as they ring, joy that they bring!
Keep on breathing, clear and strong,
Let your breathing become your song.
Sing it joyful, sing it true,
Hope will breathe through the world with you.
Keep on breathing, clear and strong,
Let your breathing become your song.
Hope
Hope
Moon river, wider than a mile
I’m crossing you in style some day.
Old dreammaker, you heartbreaker
Wherever you’re goin’, I’m goin’ your way.
Two drifters, off to see the world
There’s such a lot of world to see.
We’re after the same rainbow’s end
Waitin’ round the bend
My Huckleberry friend
Moon river and me.
Esta solo, llorando
En silencio, en la oscuridad
Esta soñando, deseando
Con esperanza, por l’opportunidad.
Escuchalos, escuchalos,
Ellos te llaman.
Oye, are you listening?
Oye, can you hear them calling?
Oye, we are calling to you.
Oye, are you listening?
Oye, can you hear them calling?
Oye, can you hear us?
Esta solo, llorando
En silencio, en la oscuridad
Esta soñando, deseando
Con esperanza, por l’opportunidad.
Escuchalos, escuchalos,
Ellos te llaman.
Oye, are you listening?
Oye, can you hear them calling?
Oye, we are calling to you.
Oye, are you listening?
Oye, can you hear them calling?
Oye, can you hear us?
Instrumental
Oye, Oye, Oye, Oye, Oye,
Oye, Oye, Oye, we are calling to you,
Oye, Oye, Oye, can you hear us?
Oye, are you listening?
Oye, can you hear them calling?
Oye, we are calling to you.
Oye, are you listening?
Oye, can you hear them calling?
Oye, can you hear us?
Oye!
I write my story my own way;
I think about the person I can be someday.
I trust my heart to be my guide,
With dreams so bright that I can cast my fears aside.
We’ve come this far and still we know,
There’s even further we can go,
When we lead with love and let it show!
Watch us shine, hear us roar, see us smile as we soar!
Feeling proud, feeling strong, feeling love for each other,
Knowing we belong.
Just like a firefly at night,
I travel through the dark by making my own light.
And when it’s still too dark to see,
We’ll join together and we’ll shine in harmony.
And when our light begins to grow,
From miles away you’ll see the glow,
When we lead with love and let it show!
Watch us shine, hear us roar, see us smile as we soar!
Feeling proud, feeling strong, feeling love for each other,
Knowing we belong.
We are the promises we make.
We are the dreams we have, the chances that we take.
Watch us shine, hear us roar, see us smile as we soar!
Feeling proud, feeling strong, feeling love for each other,
Knowing we belong.
