Lyrics and translation
Original
Life's a long, long road that leads us somewhere.
It's a heavy load when you're trying to get there.
We all carry on through thick and thin.
I look in the mirror and wonder where, where I've been.
How do we get there?
It seems so far away.
Might be tomorrow, it won't be today.
When lightning strikes, you will see the light.
So get up, get out the door, get on your way.
Sometimes life can turn around before you know it.
Open your heart, open your mind, and let it flow in.
You know things will always change.
It's up to you to rearrange.
Your life will never be the same.
Don't be attacked by your thoughts.
Let them come in, let them go.
It was a night I was on my own.
I was feeling pretty low.
Now things have changed since you came back to me.
Without your love I'm drowning in the deep blue sea.
Sometimes life can turn around before you know it.
Open your heart, open your mind, and let it flow in.
You know things will always change.
It's up to you to rearrange.
Your life will never be the same.
Life's a long, long road.
