Jump, Little Children - Requiem

De Li Lay Ah, De Li Lay Ah, De li Lay Ah, De Li Lay Ah
De Li Lay Ah, De Li Lay Ah, De li Lay Ah, De Li Lay Ah

It's up to you
For every passing day
To not let the past pass away

It's up to you
Now that you understand
To take those arms by the hand

'Cause you can see it coming
You can see it coming
You can see daylight vague beneath the stars

It's up to you
To keep the memory
To not lose the shape of the melody

'Cause we don't sing the same song anymore
And now your offering is requiem
'Cause we don't sing the same song anymore
And now your offering is silent requiem

De Li Lay Ah, De Li Lay Ah, De li Lay Ah, De Li Lay Ah
De Li Lay Ah, De Li Lay Ah, De li Lay Ah, De Li Lay Ah

It's up to you
To understand at your age
To not let the years charge a wage

It's up to you
To see it in the eyes
Of all those who've gone, to realize

If you can see it coming
You can see it coming
You can see them high, high upon the stars

It's up to you
Not to sing along
When all of the feeling is gone

'Cause we don't sing the same song anymore
And now your offering is requiem
'Cause we don't sing the same song anymore
And now your offering is silent requiem

And I can see that look on your face
When you don't sing along, you don't sing along
I can see that look on your face
When you don't sing along, you don't sing along

'Cause we don't sing the same song anymore
And now your offering is requiem
'Cause we don't sing the same song anymore
And now your offering is requiem
'Cause we don't sing the same song anymore
And now your offering is silent requiem

De Li Lay Ah, De Li Lay Ah, De li Lay Ah, De Li Lay Ah
De Li Lay Ah, De Li Lay Ah, De li Lay Ah, De Li Lay Ah
