NAME:
Beyond the horizon there is a place
Beautiful and peaceful for us to love each other
Beyond the horizon must have
some beautiful place to live in peace 
where can i find nature
joy and happiness for sure
In this place, the sunrise is beautiful
With flowers celebrating another day to come
where we can lie down in the field
Love yourself on the grass listening to the birdsong
None of this has value
what is paradise worth without love
If you don't come with me all this will stay
on the horizon waiting for both of us
Beyond the horizon there is a place
beautiful and peaceful
for us to love each other
But if you don't come with me none of this is valuable
what is paradise worth without love
If you don't come with me all this will stay
on the horizon waiting for both of us
Beyond the horizon there is a place
beautiful and peaceful
for us to love each other
