Hilli (At The Top Of The World)
At the top of the world there's an islandA place where the sun never shinesBut the people don't care because the snow over thereIs so bright, they nearly go blindThey live at the foot of a mountainWhere the flowers last hardly a dayBut they live off the land and lend each other a handOn this island where night is their dayThey'd punish me if I dare tell youAnd if I ask them, they'd say they don't knowBut what keeps them healthy even though they are not wealthyOn this magical island, is snowThe flakes as they fall look like candyAnd the children rush out when it snows, for a treatWhen they open their mouths and gulp down the flakesBecause nothing on earth tastes so sweetBut then one dark day, smoke blew in their wayAnd the temperatures got higherOn the horizon they saw fire and the waters did riseAnd the snow started melting awayAnd the people weren't tearful, nor fearful or scaredLetras de cancionesBecause the secret was out thereAt last, the secret was sharedThey watched as the ice turned to waterAnd streamed down into the seaAnd lit up the ocean and crept in slow-motionThrough the world they never did seeAnd people in lands around the planet were in shockAs the light came to shore and lit up the beachesAnd even their teachers couldn't say what the bright light was forIt flowed upstream through the mountainsBurst out through their fountainsBreaking all life's natural lawsTill they lit up the planet and all who lived on itWere touched by this magical forceAnd they looked all around at the sky and at the groundAnd they realized what they had been seeing thenAs they started to cry their tears filled the skyAnd the black storm clouds gathered aboveAnd then the heavens openedAnd the rains came to show themThat their world needs a little more loveAt the top of the world there's an islandA place where the sun never shinesBut the people don't care because the snow over thereIs so bright, the sun's in their mind From Letras Mania
