Elephant - Laleh

I hear the children play

with the guards of the jail

with the guards of the jail

with the guards of the jail

I'm thinking of a new name

that I could give myself

one day I'll be myself

oh, I'll be my own

It's been forty long years

in the desert I have been

I've even hit the devils nose

in the desert I have grown

And as a woman said

that day when I was crying out

God puts his diamonds in the sand

but then he will always takes them back

Have a good day brother

me and your sister will rise up

like an elephant

from the mud

in your carefree sleep

we will brake free

we will brake free

Have a good day brother

me and your little bro

me and your sister will rise up

like an elephant

from the storm

in your carefree sleep

we will brake free

And the city will be reborn

and the streets will be washed

may the streets be clean and washed

may the streets be clean and washed

And we will wave our hand

and everybody will forget the past

and everybody will forget the past

And as a woman said

that day when I was crying out

God puts his diamonds in the sand

but then he will always takes them back

Have a good day brother

me and your sister will rise up

like an elephant

from the mud

in your carefree sleep

we will brake free

we will brake free

Have a good day brother

me and your little bro

me and your sister will rise up

like an elephant

from the storm

in your carefree sleep

we will brake free

we will brake free

I'm thinking of a new name

that I could give myself

one day I'll be myself

oh, I'll be my own
