Alone in the back, I let my hair down And aim for the place where light and dark intermingle I break through with the power of swaying words To become a flower that blooms in this wasteland One is split into a thousand We are children of the milky way We light out lives, to the west and to the east Even if the time comes when we've forgotten the road we travelled so far Etched in this blood are the shining essentials One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, where is my heart? A bluebird stops in the sky above my upthrust fist And a thousand become one We are children of the milky way Accepting life from the stars, to the north and to the south If I slip through the towering buildings as if sewing up a valley I'll cut through the wind, the shining essentials I'll know love, the shining essentials The brightly shining essentials
