Description
No instructions, rules, or checklists. Just a little carefree, a little salt from the sea breeze, and a childish habit of catching raindrops with your tongue. The world doesn't require a diploma to be happy, and no one checks if you're dancing correctly. Sometimes it's enough to just allow yourself to be - uneven, fake, real.
It sounds like a sunny morning after a storm: your hair is tangled, your heart is light, and your head is finally not trying to explain everything. You just breathe, hear, feel - and the world hums the same melody in response, as if it had always known it.

Lyrics and translation
Original
People say that you should wait.
Take your time and learn the way. Keep following the recipe.
Never draw outside the lines.
And all the words they have to write. And don't you dare to disagree.
But you don't have to know the song to sing it loud.
And you don't need to learn the steps to dance around.
Catch a raindrop with your tongue.
Chase your shadow in the sun. Paint the sky a different blue.
Hold a seashell to your ear.
Let the ocean's sound appear. Let the waves remind you.
That you don't have to know the song to sing it loud.
And you don't need to learn the steps to dance around.
Nobody taught the sun to shine.
You know how to love and how to cry. And that's all you need to know.
Remember the feeling of flying.
You're like a melody rising.
Oh.
You're like a melody rising.
You don't have to know the song to sing it loud.
And you don't need to learn the steps to dance around.
Nobody taught the sun to shine. You know how to love and how to cry.
And that's all you need to know to be alright.
