I ride passing by
pines all around and sand in my shoes
pulsating light
covering all near and far
I ride passing by
I ride passing by
pines all around and sand in my shoes
inhaling the rays

and I slow my pace for a while
immersed in the light
I ride passing by
pines all around and sand in my shoes
inhaling the rays
path in the woods
and I slow my pace for a while
