Lyrics

Do you know what you?ve become?
Do you see the light in your heart?
Is it quite the same as yesterday
When you played outside with all your friends?

The world is beautiful and strange.
It will take a lifetime just to see the world we?ve made.
Somebody wants to hear your truth.
Sometimes a stranger knows you better than your friends do.

Be honest with yourself.
The ones who love you understand.
And if you feel there?s no one there,
Look to yourself and the love
That has always been there.

I know a little of this world
And just like anyone I spent my time in hell.
Sometimes I feel that I?m still there,
Wishing it all would disappear.

Be honest with yourself.
The ones who love you understand.
And if you feel there?s no one there,
Look to yourself and the love
That has always been there.

You can say that they?re unfair.
Oh, but fighting them just leads to your despair.
You can say that they?re unkind.
All they really are is wasting all your time.

The world is beautiful and strange.
It will take a lifetime just to see the world we?ve made.
Somebody wants to hear your truth.
Sometimes a stranger knows you better than your friends do.

Be honest with yourself.
The ones who love you understand.
And if you feel there?s no one there,
Look to yourself and the love
That has always been there.
