I'll be Dback in the Ahigh life aDgain,
Gall the doors I Dclosed one time, will Aopen up aDgain
I'll be Dback in the Ahigh life aDgain,
Gall the eyes that Dwatched me once, will Asmile and take me Din
And I'll Gdrink and dance with Done hand free;
Alet the world back Dinto me, and Goh I'll be a Dsight to see;
back in the Asus4high  Alife aDgain
