English (Original Language)
1. Sunlight breaking through the shadowslighting all we seetaking in each single momentwith the air we breathstill so much that lies before usstill so much within our reach
Every daybrings another momentevery timewe open our eyeswe can seethe goodness that surrounds usAnd feel the joy of life.
2. Moving forward strong and hopefulloving what we findtaking all our hesitationsleaving them behindsomething’s great on the horizoneven better than we know.
Every daybrings another momentevery timewe open our eyeswe can seethe goodness that surrounds usAnd feel the joy of life.
Holding on to every promisewe will look ahead with faith
Every daybrings another momentevery timewe open our eyeswe can seethe goodness that surrounds usAnd feel the joy of life.
