Lyrics
Wings of wax and feathers
Nanana
V1
Escaping from this troubled world
With our wings of wax and feathers
We`re taking off we`re taking off
Our silhouettes against the sky
I follow your path of flight
Wings take us high, take us high
We fly over land and over sea
Next to the humblebee
Follow me oh follow me
To the light and you will see
Nanana
Chorus
Our wings of wax and feather
Will they last in stormy weather?
Or will we go down?
V2
Looking at the miniatures
Down below hand in hand
We`re flying, we`re flying
The people down below
Have no other place to go
But we`re high, we` re high
We fly over land and over sea
Next to the humblebee
Follow me oh follow me
To the light and you will see
Nanana
Chorus
Our wings of wax and feather
Will they last in stormy weather?
Or will we go down ?
Bridge:
In white light I can`t see
Is it you or is it me?
In white light I can`t see
The brutal sun, the brutal sun
nananana
Bridge
Baby we are falling
Our destiny is calling silently
We`re falling down, falling down
Wake me up this is not real
I see all has disappeared
It`s just a dream just a dream
We fly over land and over sea
Next to the humblebee
Follow me oh follow me
To the light and you will see
Nanana
Chorus
