The Day Lyrics

Sea full of diamonds, good morning new day
I'll fix us breakfast, and the newspaper says
The company will lay off 5000 souls today

"I wish I was a child with no worries back then", I say
"Kiss me and smile…", you reply, in your way
You wake up the children for school…for the last time
For suddenly our beautiful life blurs away and the world breaks into pieces

'Cause today the sea came in.
The wave came and stole my loved ones
I write these lines alone
on the rooftop of my home
I'm adrift on the vast oceans, can you feel me?
I will not see you again, even if I live through
The day when the sea came...
day when the sea came...
day when the sea came in…

I trace the scenes our children once played
names carved in wood, all the words, bound to fade
I believe, my love, your memory and dreams deserve to live again tomorrow

My love…
We built this world together, we lived in here together
and shared the fun together, bore the sorrows, all together

My friend…
we'll win the fight together, we'll lose the game together
greet the heroes all together, and forever, we'll remember

My world…
We built this world together, we lived in here together
and shared the fun together, bore the sorrows, all together

And as long as we're together, in spirit, yet together,
you're the air that I am kissing
you will always be there…
I can feel you in the wind…
I can feel you in the wind...

A very strong and touching song, at least for me. The meaning is obvious: the narrator loses his family because of a tsunami, but manages to live on through, while still deeply in love with his wife.
