In a world like this
Nothing more to do
I've got a song to feel alive
It's you
I see eternity
Shining in the skies
Far beyond the universe
Of your eyes
A feeling with no fears
Is born among the tears
And flying high above it all
It goes
Soaring over all the accusations
Over prejudice and affectations
Our need for love will grow and stay
Showing us the way
In a world like this (one day we'll find a home)
Everyone's confined (where wild roses have been sown)
A song to feel alive and free (blooms that fall)
Is you and me (they'll seem to call)
The image of the truth (the woods are all abandoned)
Is naked there to see (overgrown by neglect and misery)
It speaks of a reality (but we will see)
That will be (their mystery)
All the new sensations
Are young and true emotions
They express their clarity
For us
The phantom shapes of a forgotten past
Will fall away and we will see at last
Our need for love will grow and stay
Showing us the way
And I'll discover you
I'll discover you
Oh sweet companion
Who doesn't know where to go or what to do
Or by whose side you'll be
Look and you'll see
One day we'll find a home
Where wild roses have been sown
Blooms that fall
They'll seem to call
The woods are all abandoned
Overgrown by neglect and misery
But we will see
Their mystery
In a world like this
Nothing more to do
I've got a song to feel alive
It's you
I see eternity
Shining in the skies
Far beyond the universe
Of your eyes
All the new sensation
All the new sensations
Are young and true emotions
They express their clarity
For us
The phantom shapes of a forgotten past
Will fall away and we will see at last
