Talk About The Passion
Lyrics
Empty prayer, empty mouths, combien reaction
Empty prayer, empty mouths, talk about the passion
Not everyone can carry the weight of the world
Not everyone can carry the weight of the world
Talk about the passion
Talk about the passion
Empty prayer, empty mouths, combien reaction
Empty prayer, empty mouths, talk about the passion
Combien, combien, combien du temps?
Not everyone can carry the weight of the world
Not everyone can carry the weight of the world
Combien, combien, combien du temps?
Talk about the passion
Talk about the passion
(repeat)
