Ferry Corsten - We Belong - Xadacka

Days. Days. Days
Stealing secret moments
Breathing in the summer sun
As the sea of changes
Wash ashore

Days
In the great wide open
Theres so much to catch the eye
Your beauty, Shade and light
Shade and light

Quite Witness to forever
In my silene i keep holding on
I am waiting 'til forever
And i understand where we belong

Quite Witness to forever
In my silene i keep holding on
I am waiting 'til forever
And i understand where we belong

And i understand where we belong
And i understand where we belong
And i understand where we belong
And i understand where we belong

Days
In the great wide open
Theres so much to catch the eye
Your beauty, Shade of light
Shade of light

Quite Witness to forever
In my silene i keep holding on
I am waiting 'til forever
And i understand where we belong

Quite Witness to forever
In my silene i keep holding on
I am waiting 'til forever
And i understand where we belong

[Stand where we be, stand where we be, stand where we be...]

Quite Witness to forever
In my silene i keep holding on
I am waiting 'til forever
And i understand where we belong

Quite Witness to forever
In my silene i keep holding on
I am waiting 'til forever
And i understand where we belong

And i understand where we belong
And i understand where we belong
