" look at the way we're walking, look at the way we're looking for tomorow, we have no courage, here comes the angel coming down to give us courage, to give us strength, to give us work, he'll give give us strength to go where we need to go.... that was the first verse and actually it's haitian creole.
The second creole verse means" even though you don't see tomorrow, you'll still get far. Don't keep on searching, walk, walk. We'll get far, because we'll see tomorrow. He'll give us courage so we can see tomorrow. He'll give us courage so we can search everywhere we go, we'll find everything we're looking for, because the angel is here.
I have to put this on repeat whenever I play it because playing it once isnt enough, due to the fact that on the first listen I usually end up zoning out on MY OWN thoughts. So I listen to it a 2nd and third time and try to enjoy what the artist was trying to communicate. Its hard not to zone out on the beauty of this melody and beat.
This song is so great...this music just captures you in a way that makes you feel like your having an outerworld experience.Good job on the video too!! Love the sparkle lighting.
Ilhan Ersahin is the best, i am proud of him.

it's haitian. so it's french-influenced. i have no idea, though, i've been trying to figure it out too.
