Lyrics of all things are alive by Tan Weiwei

When the sky is painted grey

When the stars run away from home

When the moon no longer smiles

When the sun doesn't sing to us

When the glacier began to cry

When my mother looks at me

When the grass cried to me

When the future has no future

Those who used to be beautiful, those who used to be kind, those who used to be simple

Those that used to belong to us

Those have been slowly and quietly

It's now

We can't go back

Shuttle, shuttle Haloxylon, Haloxylon

When the desert turns green

When the smile is on your face

When the kids start coming home

When the birds begin to sing

When we started hugging

When Dad stops the fire of war

When people stop complaining

When the future gives birth to the future

Those who once missed, once happy, once simple

Those that used to belong to us

Those have been slowly and quietly

It's now

We can't go back

Those once beautiful, once happy, once simple

Those that used to belong to us

Those have been slowly and quietly

It's now

We can't go back
