Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. We’re all looking for the reason Behind this life we’ve been given Trying to figure out just who we are We get caught up in our own lives But it never seems to feel right We don’t get anywhere at all We can’t expect anything to change If we don’t notice those along the way
If we forget ourselves And see the world is full of those Who need our help Do everything we can If we give our lives Try to see through others’ eyes If we lose ourselves we’ll be found We’ll be found
2. We’re all looking for an answer Trying to find out what really matters And feel the happiness it brings If we look out then we’ll realize Life is better on the outside And we’ll know that love is what we need We can’t expect anything to change If we don’t help those along the way
If we forget ourselves And see the world is full of those Who need our help Do everything we can If we give our lives Try to see through others’ eyes If we lose ourselves we’ll be found
And we will never feel the same, we’ll be found And we’ll no longer be afraid And we will hold our heads up high Not let a moment pass us by And make a change Make a change
If we forget ourselves And see the world is full of those Who need our help Do everything we can If we give our lives Try to see through others’ eyes If we lose ourselves we’ll be found We’ll be found
