Lyrics[]
No words, no one
No shoulder to cry on
One voice holds me
And lifts me to my feet
First steps, new world
I've known lost, I've known hurt
For this I've rehearsed
Love first and fun over
Is only a matter of timin'
I'm only just survivin'
When the clouds break
And not a moment too late
There will come a day, there will come a day
There will come a day, there will come a day
There will come a day, there will come a day
And I'll be therе shinnin' on, all day long
I smile because it's my timе
Mm, no one
I lived and live for today
And nothin' more
Say what you gonna say, 'cause
It's nothin' I haven't heard
For days I've rehearsed
The first and final verse
Is only a matter of timin'
I'm only just survivin'
When the clouds break
And not a moment too late
There will come a day, there will come a day
There will come a day, there will come a day
There will come a day, there will come a day
And I'll be there shinnin' on, all day long
And I run
And I run
And the tears that I cried
Never did nothin' for me, yeah
And I run
And I run
And the tears that I cried
Never did nothin' for me, yeah
And I run
