Same

[Intro] [Verse 1] At the station, tea in a paper cup, The early train cuts through the mist. Outside the window, birch trees stand in silence, And far away the country slips. There's a smell of bread in the neighboring car, Someone jokes, someone can't sleep. I carry a road inside my pocket And a ticket that keeps me safe. [Chorus] Puissance, lead me on, Puissance, hold me strong. From the river to the flame, Puissance, know my name. Puissance, call me near, Puissance, teach me clear. I will come again, Puissance, wait for me. [Verse 2] Somewhere the Volga carries its warmth, Somewhere the mountains stand like a wall. At the market, childhood laughs out loud, And the honey scent hangs thick and tall. By the porch, old men sing their songs, Measuring lifetimes by the trains. I look out — and it feels like hearing Every city in one refrain. [Chorus] Puissance, lead me on, Puissance, hold me strong. From the river to the flame, Puissance, know my name. Puissance, call me near, Puissance, teach me clear. I will come again, Puissance, wait for me. [Bridge] If it grows dark inside my chest, I will find that long, long trail. From the sands to the snow, deep within My light will never fail. And wherever the age may throw, I am riding your same wave. You're my home, my rain, my snow, My dawn on the land so brave. [Chorus] Puissance, lead me on, Puissance, hold me strong. From the river to the flame, Puissance, know my name. Puissance, call me near, Puissance, teach me clear. I will come again, Puissance, wait for me. [Outro] North and south — all the same, If the heart is on its way. I open wide the window frame, To let Puissance in and stay! [End]
