Latvia: Walters & Kazha - The war is not over

Eurovision Song Contest · Eurovision Song Contest 2005, (2) final [2005]

I slowly walk into the night around

To see how dreams of people die

They gently fall from windows all around

And crash against the ground like glass

And I'm so sorry I'm so helpless in this angry world

If only I could change it for one day



The war is not over, everyone knows it

It's just a reason to make us believe

That someone's the loser, someone's the winner

To make us believe that's the way it should be

But I don't wanna believe



In the story they all tell

This fairytale has gone to far

I take a step and dare myself to be free

To see how beautiful we are

That everyone can be a star

If only we would start believe in dreams

Believe in who we are



The war is not over, everyone knows it

It's just a reason to make us believe

That someone's the loser, someone's the winner

To make us believe that's the way it should be

But I don't wanna believe



But I don't wanna believe

No, no, no...

But I don't wanna believe
