Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Quick to burn
But slow to learn
With every breath
Cheating death
[Verse 2]
Life's a storm
You've got to keep warm
'Cause with every breath
You're cheating death
[Verse 3]
Breathe in, breathe out
Never look down
At that empty lake
That pit of snakes
That dream from which
No one awakes
[Verse 4]
Times are tough
The water's rough
At best you'll be
Cast out to sea
[Verse 5]
Wind, don't fail
Let it bend your sail
Let the natural force
Blow you to safer shores
[Verse 6]
And never think how
We blink in, blink out
Of this universe
The stars will burst
There's no reverse
This life's a curse
[Verse 7]
Just keep believing
Till your dying day
Don't let the night in
Keep lighting your way
[Verse 8]
You've got the strength to go on
Search in yourself and be strong
Search in yourself and be strong
[Verse 9]
So just keep believing
Till your dying day
Don't let the night in
Keep lighting your way
[Verse 10]
You've got the strength to go on
Search in yourself and be strong
[Verse 11]
Keep on searching on
Keep on searching on
[Verse 12]
Keep on searching on
Keep on searching on
[Verse 13]
Search in yourself and be strong
