I'm talking to my self
One day, I heard a voice within
Me say why don't you wake up?
Don't you the one you love is not for you, is not for you
How far you belong?
To a different kinda girl and in a different kinda world
And so I said to me within
What can I do, how can I win?
The voice that he said...
Turn your face towards the sky and don't cry
For you'll meet your love, bye bye

And so I said to me within
What can I do, how can I win?
The voice that he said...
Turn your face towards the sky and don't cry
For you'll meet your love, bye bye
