Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

One by one we see the sun
Feel the day has just begun
Trembling lights up in the clouds
All we need to feel is now as we work

Get me a parachute, take me to the sky
Just take me to the blue before I start to collide
Get me a parachute, take me to the sun

We'll be a miracle, to turn this world into one

Get me a parachute

One by one we see the sun
Feel the day has just begun
Trembling lights up in the clouds
All we need to feel is now as we work

Get me a parachute, take me to the sky
Just take me to the blue before I start to collide
Get me a parachute, take me to the sun
We'll be a miracle, to turn this world into one

Get me a parachute, take me to the sky
Just take me to the blue before I start to collide
Get me a parachute, take me to the sun
We'll be a miracle, to turn this world into one

Get me a parachute

Get me a parachute, take me to the sky
Just take me to the blue before I start to collide

Get me a parachute, take me to the sun
We'll be a miracle, to turn this world into one
