Lyrics

I was standingAll alone against the world outsideYou were searchingFor a place to hide
Lost and lonelyNow you’ve given me the will to surviveWhen we’re hungryLove will keep us alive
Don’t you worrySometimes you’ve just gotta let it rideThe world is changingRight before your eyes
Now I’ve found youThere’s no more emptiness insideWhen we’re hungryLove will keep us alive
I would die for youClimb the highest mountainBaby, there’s nothing I wouldn’t do
Now I’ve found youThere’s no more emptiness insideWhen we’re hungryLove will keep us alive
I would die for youClimb the highest mountainBaby, there’s nothing I wouldn’t do
I was standingAll alone against the world outsideYou were searchingFor a place to hide
Lost and lonelyNow you’ve given me the will to surviveWhen we’re hungryLove will keep us alive
When we’re hungryLove will keep us aliveWhen we’re hungryLove will keep us alive
