Lyrics

Raise your voice with songs
Songs are still allowed
And there is still time for many, many other songs in our life.

Raise your voice with songs
Songs are still allowed, allowed.
Raise your voice with songs
Songs are still allowed, allowed.

And if one day you are about to break
You must tell yourself that you are standing
Like a palm tree looking towards the sky, towards the sky.

And no defeat and no breaking
And no defeat and no breaking
And no fear, and no, no dream built in a vacuum, in a vacuum.

Raise your voice with songs
Songs are still allowed, allowed.

Your song in the midst of the crowd
Is moving my heart towards happiness,
Is healing my heart that was hurt, that was hurt.

With your song in the midst of the crowd,
You are moving my heart towards happiness,
You are healing my heart that was hurt, that was hurt.

Will you dance?
Yes, I will dance;
Despite of myself, I dance,
Despite of myself, despite of myself I dance.

We will tie your dream to my dream,
Despite of myself, I dance,
Despite of myself, despite of myself I dance.

Will you dance?
Yes, I will dance;
Despite of myself, I dance,
Despite of myself, despite of myself I dance.

We will tie your dream to my dream,
Despite of myself, I dance,
Despite of myself, despite of myself I dance.

And no defeat and no breaking
And no defeat and no breaking
And no fear, and no, no dream built in a vacuum, in a vacuum.

Raise your voice with songs
Songs are still allowed, allowed, allowed, allowed.
