Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. We’re all looking for the reasonBehind this life we’ve been givenTrying to figure out just who we areWe get caught up in our own livesBut it never seems to feel rightWe don’t get anywhere at allWe can’t expect anything to changeIf we don’t notice those along the way
If we forget ourselvesAnd see the world is full of thoseWho need our helpDo everything we canIf we give our livesTry to see through others’ eyesIf we lose ourselves we’ll be foundWe’ll be found
2. We’re all looking for an answerTrying to find out what really mattersAnd feel the happiness it bringsIf we look out then we’ll realizeLife is better on the outsideAnd we’ll know that love is what we needWe can’t expect anything to changeIf we don’t help those along the way
If we forget ourselvesAnd see the world is full of thoseWho need our helpDo everything we canIf we give our livesTry to see through others’ eyesIf we lose ourselves we’ll be found
And we will never feel the same, we’ll be foundAnd we’ll no longer be afraidAnd we will hold our heads up highNot let a moment pass us byAnd make a changeMake a change
If we forget ourselvesAnd see the world is full of thoseWho need our helpDo everything we canIf we give our livesTry to see through others’ eyesIf we lose ourselves we’ll be foundWe’ll be found
