Lyrics of Sebi
Ko so tvoje misli polne
lahko poslušaš, kako mi bije srce
Ko težko je tvoje breme
k meni se lahko zatečeš
Vprašaj, kaj me vodi dalje
So dosežki in razdalje
Kot list gre z vetrom in se mu upira
jaz grem s tokom in se mu upiram
Vedno se ne vidi zvezd
sam ostani sebi zvest
Ne govori mi oprosti
Ko solze v tvojih so očeh
pusti jih, da tečejo
Ko najine želje so različne
sprejmeš me in sprejmem te
Poglej me, je nujno, da ima vse pomen
Večnost in ta planet nista prijatelja
in jaz sem kot snežinka, ki čaka na pomlad
Vedno se ne vidi zvezd
sam ostani sebi zvest
Ne govori mi oprosti
Ni ti treba se dokazovat
Vežejo nas iste solze, isti strah
Vedno se ne vidi zvezd
sam ostani sebi zvest
Ne govori mi oprosti
