I see the cold mist in the night

And watch the hills roll out of sight

I watch in every single way,

Inside out, outside in, every day

The sun can warm the coldest dawn

D A D A

And move the movement on the lawn

I learn in every single day,

Inside out, outside in, every way

Even in time we shall control the day,

When what you'll see

Deep inside base controlling you and me
