[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Strange
How the world got so small
I turned around and there was nowhere left to go

[Verse 2]
So sad
The dream always dies
Each new arrival closes places in my mind

[Pre-Chorus]
But I can dream
Until I go
Of smells that I don't recognize
And by the river
In Shanghai
The colour of the sky

[Chorus]
Is something I've never seen
After the summer rain
Children smile
Curious and kind
And the world is big again
