Join in, we'll write a letter together

With a message on it

And send it off with a hot-air balloon

And we nicely ask the little soldiers

Stop that war now

And a general on the horizon looks up

At a wondrous rainbow

Ten thousand balloons color the sky blue

Ten thousand balloons are on their way to you

Ten thousand balloons color the horizon

Ten thousand years of war without anyone ever winning

Are we all angry at each other again

You know what I say then

From now on we'll hug triple tight

I've finished my card, my drawing is ready

And send them off

And a sweet little girl far from here

Looks up at a wondrous rainbow

Ten thousand balloons color the sky blue

Ten thousand balloons are on their way to you

Ten thousand balloons color the horizon

Ten thousand years of war without anyone ever winning

Ten thousand balloons color the sky blue

Ten thousand balloons are on their way to you

Ten thousand balloons color the horizon

Ten thousand years of war without anyone ever winning

Ayee lé lé lé lé, ayee lé lé lé lé

Ayee lé lé lé, ayee lé lé lé

Ayee lé lé lé lé, ayee lé lé lé lé

Ayee lé lé lé, ayee lé lé lé

Ten thousand balloons

Ten thousand balloons are on their way to you

Ten thousand balloons

Ten thousand balloons are on their way to you

Ten thousand balloons color the sky blue

Ten thousand balloons are on their way to you

Ten thousand balloons color the horizon

Ten thousand years of war without anyone ever winning

SONG MEANING

K3 turns the sky into a giant, colorful mailbox! In this upbeat anthem, the Belgian trio invites us to write kind messages, attach them to 10.000 luchtballonnen (10,000 balloons), and let them drift across the world. Each balloon becomes a flying wish for peace, asking soldiers to lay down their arms while painting the horizon in rainbow shades of hope.

Behind the playful melody lies a serious reminder: after "10.000 years of war," nobody truly wins. K3’s solution? Swap anger for triple-sized hugs, replace conflict with connection, and trust that even a small card, carried by the wind, can reach someone far away and warm their heart. It’s a joyful call to action that shows how a simple, shared dream can lift us all higher than the brightest balloon in the sky.
