These midsummer footsteps Carry me slow Through the tall grass glowing Where the warm winds blow Every breath a memory Every shadow knows I am still becoming Where the daylight goes Midsummer footsteps Soft and low

In the quiet wind, Where the soul begins to hear, All the gentle truths we follow Start to rise and reappear. In the quiet wind, Where the heart can breathe again, Every dream becomes a river Flowing softly through the glen.

Apple trees, apple trees, Where the heart remembers peace. Where the world feels soft and simple, And the worries find release. Apple trees, apple trees, Where the soul can breathe with ease. Every dream begins its growing Under gentle apple trees.

I shall rise again as new From the ashes of the old With a fire breaking through Turning silver into gold Let the heavens open wide Let the winds of mercy move I shall rise, I shall rise I shall rise again as new

Don’t believe in everything, not every shining word is true. Some people speak in borrowed wings, but they never learned to fly with you. Don’t believe in everything — your heart is wiser than their sound. Hold your fire, hold your truth, keep your feet upon the ground.

Go your way and goodbye, Let the wind take your name. I won’t hold you to the fire Of a love we couldn’t tame. Go your way and goodbye, Let the night close the sky. I’ll remember what was golden, But I won’t ask you why.

In the forests of love, we dance as one, Under the moon, under the sun. Every shadow turns to gold, Every story we unfold. In the forests of love, we rise and shine, Your soul forever intertwined with mine. Every rhythm fits like a glove — We are the forests of love.

You arrived like a summer song, Lifting me up, carrying me on. Every note you sang felt like home, Every breath you gave made the sunlight grow. You arrived like a summer song, Bright as the day I’d been dreaming of. I didn’t know where my heart belonged — Till you arrived like a summer song.

So let’s build the future here Where the sky is wide and clear Where the world begins again In the warmth of you, my friend Let’s build the future now With a steady hand and vow Let the whole world stop and hear Let’s build the future here

Together through destiny, moving like a melody, Rising in the harmony of everything we’re meant to be. Together through destiny, stronger than the gravity, Holding to the promise that the stars wrote silently. Oh, we go — Together through destiny.

Cosmic starry ways, Carry me through endless days, Light me up in silver haze, Guide me where the future plays. Cosmic starry ways, Turning in their quiet blaze, Hold me in your timeless maze, Lead me on through cosmic ways.

I’m dancing with my shadow, In the corners of the rain. It knows the things I never said, It knows the weight I can’t explain. I’m dancing with my shadow, Where the broken rhythms flow. If the world forgets my heartbeat, Still my shadow seems to know.
