I light candles in the early hours
_____
I pluck petals from flowers on my pillow
_____
Looking at the ceiling I let myself go
_____
And I watch the sun that comes in through my window
_____
That clears me up and renews my drive
_____
I look in the mirror and wonder what waits for me outside
_____
And I feel everything so bright and so magnetic
_____
Nothing and nobody can make me crumble today
_____
Let the ground shake, that here I go
Stepping hard and without a clock
_____
I've got a smile to give you
_____
I've got a thousand love letters
_____
And I've got all the time that I lost without seeing the sun
_____
I've got a thousand stories that I want to tell you
_____
I don't want to leave anything unfelt
_____
And I go out to walk among the people
_____
And I play at imagining where they come from
And I fall in love with every corner
_____
And I spread the city while looking ahead
_____
This morning the world is different
_____
I discover so many things that I didn't see
_____
And I feel everything so bright and so magnetic
_____
Nothing and nobody can make me crumble today
_____
Let the ground shake, that here I go
_____
Stepping hard and without a clock
_____
I've got a smile to give you
I've got a thousand love letters
_____
And I've got all the time that I lost without seeing the sun
_____
I've got a thousand stories that I want to tell you
_____
I don't want to leave anything unfelt
_____
And at last I know that it's dawning and I breathe the morning in
_____
I untied the bandages that hid my gaze
To force me to see nothing
At last the rain touches me
_____
I've got a smile to give you
I've got a thousand love letters
_____
And I've got all the time that I lost without seeing the sun
_____
I've got a thousand stories that I want to tell you
_____
I don't want to leave anything unfelt
