-Lyrics-

The way I feel right now
it will last for ever.
Tell me that u stay,
never go away.

I can feel no pain
as long as we are together
Without u I'm lost
Can not find my way.

The Vosporos
is not enough to separate us
if we just trust the stars.

We'll sail over obstacles
thats why they are there for.
It's about where we are going,
where we've already left, where we are.
It can't be too far now, the Üsküdar.

There's no way but a free way
to get to Üsküdar.
My mind knows the path,
my heart says that is not far.

The storm last night
is mud between my toes,
as I walk ahead on my flows
bla bla la la la (just can't fingure out wtf she said)

Life is all that it feels
until I know better of la la la.

To grace the souls of many
as lovers intend to be
I was set free
then again a state of my.. weyyy ey ey ey..

Yes I know.
There is no higher place to be.

Can I set u free?
