lyrics

standing at the waterside
driftig in the evening light
falling as i close my eyes
come and take away my ties

can you hear the whales tonight
sing their songs into the wide
revive me
make life to me

i don't know what it takes
to be relevant this time
i don't know what it takes
to keep it up beyond the finish line
i don't know what it takes
but it takes so much not to break
i don't know if i can do it
but i'd always do it again

never i'll forget the sound
of the clearing water washing out
the relicts and footprints memories and fears
signs of existence all proof we were here

faithful, still i don't beleive
i am worthy to receive
this brand new life washed ashore
and nothing as it was before

i don't know what it takes
to be relevant this time
i don't know what it takes
to keep it up beyond the finish line
i don't know what it takes
but it takes so much not to break
i don't know if i can do it
but i'd always do it again

in the sunset things can be taken for gold
when the silence breaks and the beauty unfolds
so we burst the chains and we break the shield
as we search for amber in the seashell field

again i begin and i know i will stumble
but i know you'll be there helping me up
and the tougher the times the more solid we are
and no longer we whisper when we speak to the stars

i don't know what it takes
to be relevant this time
i don't know what it takes
to keep it up beyond the finish line
i don't know what it takes
but it takes so much not to run away
i don't know if i can do it
but if you're helping me I'll try
