Lyrics
This is not America
Sha-la-la-la-la
Little piece of you
A little peace in me will die (this is not America)
For this is not America
Blossom fails to bloom this season
Promise not to stare too long (this is not America)
For this is not a miracle
There was a time
A storm that blew so pure
For this could be the biggest sky
And I could have the faintest idea
(For this is not America
Sha-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la)
(This is not America) No
(This is not...
Sha-la-la-la-la)
Snowman melting from the inside
Falcon spirals to the ground (this could be a biggest sky)
So bloody red, tomorrows clouds
A little piece of you
A little piece in me will die (for this could be a miracle)
For this is not America
There was a time
A wind that blew so young
For this could be the biggest sky
And I could have the faintest idea
(For this is not America
Sha-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la)
(This is not America) No
(This is not...
Sha-la-la-la)
(This is not America) No
(This is not...)
(This is not America) No
(This is not...
Sha-la-la-la)
