Somewhere in this world
I know that love exists
I've known it in a kiss
Sometimes in my sleep
I've been searching
For more than these few glimpses
For a love that lasts all eternity
There is a light, a light that never dies
Oh no, see it shine, shining in my sorrow
There is a light, a light that never dies
I'm all alone now
The crowds have all gone home
There is a silence
Silence in my world
I wish that every moment could be peaceful
But I guess that's something
I can only pray for
There is a light, a light that never dies
Oh no, see it shine, shining in my sorrow
There is a light, a light in my desire (see it shine)
See it shining, shining for tomorrow
Only love can give me an answer (only love)
Oh I know that love can heal (only love)
From the dust a new hope rises up
Only love can set me, set me free
This world is crashing down
In oh so many ways
I get so scared
Scared and so alone
Life I desire
But what is life without love
You say that's nothing
To me it's everything
There is a light, a light that never dies
Oh no, see it shine, shining in my sorrow
There is a light, a light in my desire (see it shine)
See it shining, shining for tomorrow
Only love can give me an answer (only love)
Oh I know that love can heal (only love)
From the dust a new hope rises up
Only love can set me, set me free
I need a friend someone to turn to
Someone to turn to in my hour of need (someone)
Someone to give me an answer (someone)
Someone to give me the love I need
Only love can give me the answer (only love)
Oh I know that love can heal (only love)
From the dust a new hope rises up
Only love can set me, set me free
Set me free
Only love can give me the answer (only love)
Only love can set me free
