Kadazan

Black satin-like bowl

Spanning the world from east to west

Calm, jungle is deep

It goes to sleep

The humid hot air cools

And night becomes my guest

I could walk steeper paths

If the road would still be longer

I could climb higher mountains

My feet would still be stronger

Here, where spirits dwell

I feel so small yet I feel good

Here, on top of the world

I see the absurd of being

Soul awake in this neighbourhood

Kinabalu, your power is filling me with love

Kinabalu, your crown of diamonds miles above

Continents can crumble and die like dust

The seas run dry and air blow away

Dreams of Man can wither and turn to rust

In the end I guess you'll stay the same

Kings and queens can turn the tables

Armies march to war

Tie them, try them, take them away

Presidents and financers rule our lives

As long as money flows in their veins

The rich will still be richer, thanks to the poor

Polluted put away the sane

Kings and queens can close the files

While armies march to war

Tie them, try them, take them away

I can see lights

They're shining through the night

Stars guide my way

Tell wrong from right

I listened to their words

And flew up like a bird

I, guess I was taken by surprise

'Cause when I opened up my eyes

The skies were filled with heavy showers

Pouring down

The flowers withered like love dies

And I, never expected I would drown

Ten thousand feet above the ground

But then I realised it better

When I looked down I had a

Hell of a long way down

Love is like dreaming

For you, for me: forget

Now, is this the truth?

Is it the ache I feel inside?

When you think of it it's sad:

I gave all that I had

Could it really not have been enough?
