This has been a long sunrise, long enough to tell the story of many sleepless nights full of beauty and misery while facing the truths and contradictions of getting older. The result is a song where the meaning and  message have not stopped growing in our imagination over almost the last three years. This is music to be enjoyed with passion, for sharing with the world the magic of having danced at dawn for so many times.

Lyrics

I don’t wanna be...
your dancing bear...
dancing at dawn, singing this song...
I don’t wanna be your dancing bear...
singing this song...
singing alone...

Every morning has a start, 
how funny, you’ve got all the answers, 
Did not know what to ask! 
And suddenly you change your mind. 
But you were clinging to my thoughts, 
pretty much all the time, 
like an obsession Cindarella…
set on fire...the night, 
Did you ever exist? 
or was this a bad trip? 
I look into your eyes and breathe deeply, 
to skydive and  taste your tender kiss...

I ve never asked you to come, 
but you were there anyway, 
once more it feels so unreal…
when thousands lights reflect on your face 

Teenage words, teenage dreams, 
a world about to disappear, 
teenage words, teenage dreams,
 join the team, just join the team...

If there’s no distance from the fire to the cold? 
If there’s no distance from the fire to the cold? 
why then you call me?, 
why do you need me?, 
If there’s no distance from the fire to the cold? 
If there’s no distance from the fire to the cold? 
why do you want  me?, 
why do you need me?, 
diving into the ages…
diving into the ages…

I don’t wanna be...
your dancing bear...
dancing at dawn, singing this song...
I don’t wanna be your dancing bear...
singing this song...
singing along...
