I’ve been looking all around the world to see what I could find
Just a lot of broken promises and people left behind
Oh, and the pain of being lonely is what everybody fears
Yeah, it took a lot of time for me to realise
It’s here, looking me in the eye
It’s here, here all the time
It’s here, I’ve always tried to find a way to go
But now I know it’s here
You can spend your life competing in a world that talks too loud
You can lose your own direction getting lost among the crowd
Confusion, is it any wonder that the road ahead’s not clear?
Well, you can try too hard to find it
Now I realise
It’s here, looking me in the eye
It’s here, here all the time
It’s here, I’ve always tried to find a way to go
But now I know it’s here
(It’s here)
Now at last my search has come to an end
And I know if there’s a place for me
I know it’s here
It’s here, looking me in the eye
It’s here, here all the time
It’s here, I’ve always tried to find a way to go
But now I know it’s here
(It’s here)
I’ve been looking all around the world (it’s here)
You know it took some time to realise (it’s here)
Is it any wonder that the road ahead’s not clear? (It’s here)
