| [00:00.30] |
At the top of the world there's an island |
| [00:03.64] |
A place where the sun never shines |
| [00:05.93] |
But the people don't care because the snow over there |
| [00:09.32] |
Is so bright, they nearly go blind |
| [00:11.67] |
They live at the foot of a mountain |
| [00:30.00] |
Where the flowers last hardly a day |
| [00:34.92] |
But they live off the land and lend each other a hand |
| [00:37.99] |
On this island where night is their day |
| [00:42.70] |
They'd punish me if I dare tell you |
| [00:45.34] |
And if I ask them, they'd say they don't know |
| [00:49.20] |
But what keeps them healthy even though they are not wealthy |
| [00:52.66] |
On this magical island, is snow |
| [01:11.81] |
The flakes as they fall look like candy |
| [01:15.00] |
And the children rush out when it snows, for a treat |
| [01:17.99] |
When they open their mouths and gulp down the flakes |
| [01:21.46] |
Because nothing on earth tastes so sweet |
| [01:26.15] |
But then one dark day, smoke blew in their way |
| [01:30.11] |
And the temperatures got higher |
| [01:31.97] |
On the horizon they saw fire and the waters did rise |
| [01:36.88] |
And the snow started melting away |
| [01:37.55] |
And the people weren't tearful, nor fearful or scared |
| [01:43.58] |
Because the secret was out there |
| [01:45.67] |
At last, the secret was shared |
| [01:50.44] |
They watched as the ice turned to water |
| [01:53.18] |
And streamed down into the sea |
| [01:55.32] |
And lit up the ocean and crept in slow-motion |
| [02:00.12] |
Through the world they never did see |
| [02:04.46] |
And people in lands around the planet were in shock |
| [02:07.80] |
As the light came to shore and lit up the beaches |
| [02:11.01] |
And even their teachers couldn't say what the bright light was for |
| [02:15.60] |
It flowed upstream through the mountains |
| [02:18.28] |
Burst out through their fountains |
| [02:20.51] |
Breaking all life's natural laws |
| [02:22.66] |
Till they lit up the planet and all who lived on it |
| [02:26.09] |
Were touched by this magical force |
| [02:27.96] |
And they looked all around at the sky and at the ground |
| [02:33.01] |
And they realized what they had been seeing then |
| [02:37.12] |
As they started to cry their tears filled the sky |
| [02:39.88] |
And the black storm clouds gathered above |
| [02:45.26] |
And then the heavens opened |
| [02:46.81] |
And the rains came to show them |
| [02:48.99] |
That their world needs a little more love |
| [02:58.30] |
At the top of the world there's an island |
| [03:01.04] |
A place where the sun never shines |
| [03:04.09] |
But the people don't care because the snow over there |
| [03:07.15] |
Is so bright, the sun's in their mind |
| [03:11.88] |
