lyrics

I think we cannot lose the magic and the innocence
Don’t let it slip away, don’t let it slip away, don’t let it slip away
Why should one be ashamed of talking about god, the stars or life?
Don’t let it slip away, don’t let it slip away, don’t let it slip away
It’s not a waste of time
It’s a good good spending of time
For what exactly is time?
Why shouldn’t we waste our days thinking about the meaning of it all?
Why can’t we wonder about the meaning of life anymore?
Why should one be ashamed of talking about god, the stars or life?
Don’t let it slip away, don’t let it slip away, don’t let it slip away
It’s not a waste of time
It’s a good good spending of time
For what exactly is time?
What is it about time that worries us so much?
Why is it so frightening?
Why can’t we be afraid?
Show fear, show love
It is real, it is us
