BEFORE NIGHT FALLS
WE LOVE HIM SO MUCH
HIS VOICE AND HIS TOUCH
WE CAN´T IMAGINE
...OUR WORLD WHEN HE´S GONE
SO AS LONG AS HE´S HERE
AS LONG AS THE SKY´S CLEAR
IT´S TIME TO WAKE UP
TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY
WE´RE LOOKING AT THE SETTING SUN
DREAMING THAT THE END WILL NEVER COME
WE HAVE TO LISTEN TO HIS CALL
BEFORE NIGHT FALLS
ENJOY HIS PRESENCE
UNDERSTAND THE ESSENCE
OF ALL THE WORDS HE´S SPOKEN
YES THE TIME HAS COME
IT´S UP TO US NOW
TO REPAY HIM SOMEHOW
AS A SIMPLE TOKEN
OF THE LOVE HE SHARED
WE´RE LOOKING AT THE SETTING SUN
DREAMING THAT THE END WILL NEVER COME
WE HAVE TO LISTEN TO HIS CALL
BEFORE NIGHT FALLS
THE SHADOWS WILL GET LONGER
THE DARKNESS WILL BE STRONGER
AS OUR MINDS START TO WANDER
IT´S TEMPTING TO STAND AND WAIT
TO STAY IN THIS ILLUSION
WOULD LEAD US TO CONFUSION
TO THE INTRUSION
OF THOSE THAT WILL LOSE OUR WAY
WE´RE LOOKING AT THE SETTING SUN
DREAMING THAT THE END WILL NEVER COME
WE HAVE TO LISTEN TO HIS CALL
BEFORE NIGHT FALLS
LET´S START MOVING THERE IS TOO MUCH AT STAKE
WE CAN´T START LOSING OR HIS GOOD HEART WILL BREAK
LEARN OUR LESSONS AND GIVE MORE THAN WE TAKE
NO MORE WAITING THAT WOULD BE A MISTAKE.
