[Verse 1]

Quick to burn

But slow to learn

With every breath

Cheating death

Life's a stone

You've got to keep warm

'Cause with every breath

You're cheating death


[Pre-Chorus 1]

Breathe in, breathe out

Never look down

At that empty lake

That pit of snakes

That dream from which no one awakes


[Verse 2]

Times are tough

([?])

The water's rife

(Washed out to sea)

At best you'll be

(Hold on to me)

Cast out to sea

Wind, don't fail

([?])

Let it bend your self

([?])

Let the natural force

(Hold on to me)

Blow you to safer shores


[Pre-Chorus 2]

I never think of

Blinking, blink out of

This universe

The stars will burst

There's no reverse

This life's a curse


[Chorus]

Just keep believing

Till your dying day

Don't let the night

And keep light in your way

You've got the strength to go on

Search in yourself and be strong

Search in yourself and be strong


[Instrumental Break]


[Chorus]

So, just keep believing

Till your dying day

Don't let the night

And keep light in your way

You've got the strength to go on

Search in yourself and be strong


[Outro]

Keep on searching on

Keep on searching on

Keep on searching on

Keep on searching on

Search in yourself and be strong
