I Belive[by Cans/ Stalfors]Is is too late to go in peace, I wonder howhow these things did start anywayMaybe too late to find a way, when thetrail of grief is marked with memoriesNow when you're gone, the warmthof the sun seems so farawayI believe - in everything I see, everysecond is a miracle for meI believe - after sunshine comes therain, and when it's pouring downthe only thing I feel is painI walk alone through shapeless dreamsmy only home is the wasteland that I crossI close the door and turn the keythose days of joy are barely memoriesNow when you're gone, your star willshine on, wont you shine for meI believe- in everything I see, everysecond is a miracle for meI belive- after sunshine comes therain, and when it's pouring downthe only thing I feel is pain5.
