(Sonita)
I made up my mind today
When the sun goes down it’s time to break
When no one knows I’m wide awake
I’ll spread my wings and fly away

Goodbye sweet home
Goodbye my friends
This is how our story ends
It’s hard, I can’t stay here anymore

I’m leaving with the picture and memories of home
I’m too stressed, feel so alone
On this long path, I hope to find a home
It is not my choice to become a refugee

Hey, world
Accept my apology

And when the sun goes down…
When the sun goes down!
Long nights, Long nights...
Long nights, Long nights…
Nights…

World, give me back my happiness
This isn’t fair
I am no longer under my family’s care
Imagine a world, where war is gone
Nobody else is left to set the bombs

I must make my home in a new land
I carry my and backpack
Hope you understand
Long nights might make it hard to see
But the sun always rises inside of me

And when the sun goes down…
When the sun goes down!

(Miyavi)
Long nights, Long nights...
Long nights, Long nights…
Here, we go!

Sun goes down…

When the sun goes down…
Long nights might make it hard to see
But the sun always rises inside of me!

Long nights, Long nights...
Long nights, Long nights…

(Sonita)

I made up my mind today
When the sun goes down it’s time to break
When no one knows I’m wide awake
I’ll spread my wings and fly away

I made up my mind today
When the sun goes down it’s time to break
When no one knows I’m wide awake
I’ll spread my wings and fly away

My name is not a refugee
I am not an immigrant
Welcome me
This world is a home for everyone...

When the sun goes down…
When the sun goes down…
Long nights..

I made up my mind today
When the sun goes down it’s time to break
When no one knows I’m wide awake
I’ll spread my wings and fly away
