Lyrics

[Verse 1]

As my life goes on, I believe

Somehow something's changed

Something deep inside, ooh, a part of me

[Verse 2]

There's a strange new light in my eyes

Things I've never known

Changing my life, changing me

[Verse 3]

I've been searchin' so long

To find an answer

Now I know my life has meaning

[Verse 4]

Now I see myself as I am

Feeling very free

Life is everything, ooh, it's meant to be

[Verse 5]

When my days have come to the end

I will understand

What I left behind

Part of me

[Verse 6]

I've been searchin' so long

To find an answer

Now I know my life has meaning

[Verse 7]

Searching (Don't you know I'm)

For an answer to the question, oh yeah

Who am I?

Maybe, maybe it's true, it's only natural

Good things in life take a long time

Yeah yeah
