One day I slowly floated away One day I slowly floated away All the war horses wore rubber bands to hide their hooves from sinking sand The commander in charge was hoping that The destiny was not to die
Wake up in the morning I shall Wake up and so shall you And I wake up, the sun is beautiful And it is warming you and I Fragile as we lie

Wake up in the morning I shall Wake up and so shall you And I wake up, the sun is beautiful And it is warming you and I Fragile as we lie
