The deal is on the rise again The ship comes into shore You've been away to somewhere But life goes on no less Through the foreign ocean Underneath the sea The walls come tumbling down We'll be forever calm And you'll be here in my arms I'll keep you away from harm I thought about you twice just then You get me every time Keeps coming out of nowhere It cannot be defined Your colours are magnificent From magenta to bright blue The walls come tumbling down We'll be forever calm And you'll be here in my arms I'll keep you away from harm Through the foreign ocean Underneath the sea The walls come tumbling down We'll be forever calm And you'll be here in my arms I'll keep you away from harm The walls come tumbling down We'll be forever calm And you'll be here in my arms I'll keep you away from harm The walls come tumbling down We'll be forever calm And you'll be here in my arms I'll keep you away from harm
