We think we see the world disappear
Every day they sing at the top of their lungs
In a language I think I know
Is it the height of misfortune
To fall back into old habits
The wisdom of bygone days
Like you I cross my fingers
For love to enchant
May life dance on grand
May angels lift love
And may people love each other a bit like
Soak myself in a bit of light
Like you I've lost my bearings
Almost as much as my voice
Yet every day I believe in it
Every minute, every second
Sitting here I watch this world
Barricade itself, pine away
I believe and cross my fingers
For love to enchant
May life dance on grand
May angels lift love
And that people love each other
If so many smiles can be seen
It's 'cause hope's there
Come on, let sorrow speak
If tears come to you sometimes
It's only the end of a shadow
The very start of another world
Thunder had to rumble
So our consciences could flood
Like me, cross your fingers
For love to enchant
May life dance on grand
May angels lift love
And that people love each other
May life dance on grand
May angels lift love
And that people love each other
