Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wake up, say a little prayer
Out of bed to the bathroom where
I take a look at myself and I stop and stare
And I wonder who is this standing here
[Verse 2]
And I try to find the will to carry on
Wonder how much longer I can carry on
'Cause these days they take so long, yes, they do
[Verse 3]
Hey, how are you true?
The light will guide you home, yes, it will
Hey, how are you true?
Well, there's one thing that you should know, yes, you should
You need love, you need love, you need love
You need lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love
[Verse 4]
All your days spent counting numbers
Till one day you'll find
That life has passed you by
And in the quiet still of silence, try to hide your eyes
Oh no, no, don't cry, oh no
[Verse 5]
Hey, how are you true?
The light will guide you home, yes, it will
Oh the years, thy turn so fast
Soon the present will be past and you'll look back and laugh
Yes, you will
[Verse 6]
Well, I can still remember, yes, I was a young man too
Alone, but not forgotten and the candle shinin' through
Still all these words I've spoken don't mean anything at all
Without love, without love, without love
Without lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love
[Verse 7]
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
[Verse 8]
I remember clearly we were both there on the airplane
Told me all your secrets, oh, I never saw it coming
I thought that you were joking
You were actually quite serious, mmm-hmm
