Lyrics[]
These are days of hit and run In the stream with everyone Is a moment of our lives On a wandering river Going on together Many journeys to arrive I've been walking Through the valley Through the tall grass And the shadows And I feel it I can see it Yes I need it I believe it Through the city And the towers Turning minutes Into hours And I feel it I can see it Yes I need it I believe it When I think I'm being strong And I lose direction then a life starts looking mischievous Finding revelation Out of desperation Always stretching time But it's never long enough You think you're happy Think you're free But maybe we're just Comfortably deceived I've been running Through the valley Through the tall grass And the shadows And I feel it I can see it Yes I need it I believe it Through the city And the towers Turning minutes Into hours And I feel it I can see it Yes I need it I believe it I've been running Through the valley Through the tall grass Through the shadows And I feel it I can see it Yes I need it I believe it Through the city And the towers Turning minutes Into hours And I feel it I can see it Yes I need it I believe it
