SAILING IN THE SEA (BLOWING IN THE WIND)🎵🎤

How many birds are there in the sky
Before they leave my life?
How many kinds of loves will I have
Before they make me cry?
How many husbands will I have
Pretending they marry with me?
(The answer my friend,is sailing in the sea
The answer is sailing in the sea-x2)


How many stars are there in the space
Before they can't shine more than now?
How many styles of people are there
Before they changes their lifes?
How many soldiers can leave the worst war
Before the bombe break their lifes?
(The answer my friend,is sailing in the sea
The answer is sailing in the sea-x2)
