Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Now I'm here, can you see me?
'Cos I'm out on my own
When the room goes cold, tell me you can feel me
...'cos I'm here
[Verse 2]
Here I am, can you see me?
Passing through, on my way
To a place I've been to only in my dreams
...before
[Verse 3]
In a world of delusion
Never turn your back on a friend
'Cos you can count your real, true friends on one hand
...through life
[Verse 4]
There are those that deceive you
There are those that'll let you down
Is there someone out there that would die for you?
...thought not
[Verse 5]
Live your life with a passion
Everything you do, do well
You only get out of life what you put in
...so they say
[Verse 6]
In a world of confusion
People never say what they mean
If you want a straight answer go look for one
...right now
[Verse 7]
In a room full of strangers
Do you stand with your back to the wall?
Do you sometimes feel like you're on the outside
...looking in
[Verse 8]
You can make your own luck
You create your destiny
I believe you have the power if you want to
...it's true
[Verse 9]
You can do what you want to
If you try a little bit harder
A little bit of faith goes a long way
...it does
[Verse 10]
Are we here for a reason?
I'd like to know just what you think
It would be nice to know what happens when we die
...wouldn't it?
[Verse 11]
There are some who are wise
There are some who are born naive
I believe there are some who must have lived before
...don't you?
[Verse 12]
As for me, well I'm thinking
You gotta keep an open mind
But I hope that my life's not an open and shut case
[Verse 13]
Extra sensory perception
Life after death, telepathy
Can the soul live on and travel through space and time?
[Verse 14]
You know I feel so elated
'Cos I'm about to find it out
And when I know all the answers maybe then I'll come back
...to fill you in
[Verse 15]
You don't be alarmed now
If I try to contact you
If things go missing or get moved around
...it's me
[Verse 16]
And don't disbelieve it
No matter what your "friends" might say
We'll meet up again some place, some way
...one day
