Lyrics

I wash my face in dirty water

'Cause it gives my mind a little order

And I play that game just like I should do

But my whole world slips away

I live my life, I live it slowly

And I take my time, I'm in no hurry, yeah, oh maybe

And when I could then I would surely

I would dance with a total stranger

And hold them in my arms

Hell, there could be no danger if I don't burn up

'Cause when the crying stops

So if I chant for happiness

Maybe that would make me feel better

I can't change my ideas, I can't lose my desire

Oh, if I chant for happiness

Maybe that would make me feel better

I'll be a newborn friend for the world

Would I wash my face in dirty water?

For a life I have no order

'Cause I know that feeling when you try so hard to make your way out

Nothing matters

So you search for the greater, the pride is a lion

Deep down in your soul, but you know

It never ends

There's a whole bunch of reasons trying to get out

But they can't make it out of the dark

Oh, I know the reason, I'm not enough

There's nothing more

But if I chant for happiness

Maybe that would make me feel better

I can't change my ideas, I can't put out the fire

Oh, if I chant for happiness

Maybe that would bring us together

For the better

I can't change my ideas, I can't lose my desire

I'm just a newborn friend for the world

Just a newborn friend for the world

I'll be a newborn friend

And I'll sing loud, sing loud, sing loud, my friend

And I'll sing louder, sing loud, sing loud, my friend

To my friend, my friend, well

I'll sing low, sing loud, sing a little louder, my friend

It's only my, only my, my friend, my friend, my friend

Na, na, na, na
