Lyrics:
This is the only life for me, yeah
Surround myself around my own fantasy
You just gotta be strong and believe in yourself
Forget all the sadness 'cos love is all you need
Love is all you need
Do you know what it's like to be alone in this world
When you're down and out on your luck and you're a failure
Wake up screaming in the middle of the night
You think it's all been a waste of time
It's been a bad year
You start believing everything's gonna be alright
Next minute your down and you're flat on your back
A brand new day's beginning
Get that sunny feeling and you're on your way
Just believe, just keep passing the open windows
Just believe, just keep passing the open windows
Do you know how it feels when you don't have a friend
Without a job and no money to spend, you're a stranger
All you think about is suicide
One of these days you're gonna lose the fight
You better keep out of danger, yeah
That same old feeling just keeps burning deep inside
You keep telling yourself it's gonna be the end
Ooh, get yourself together
Things are looking better everyday
Just believe, just keep passing the open windows
Just believe, just keep passing the open windows
This is the only life for me, yeah (oooh, oooh, oooh)
Surround myself around my own fantasy
You just gotta be strong and believe in yourself
Forget all the sadness 'cos love is all you need
Just believe, just keep passing the open windows
Just believe, just keep passing the open windows
You just gotta be strong and believe in yourself
Forget all the sadness 'cos love is all you need, yeah
Love is all you need, baby
Love is all you need
Just believe, just keep passing the open windows
Just believe, just keep passing the open windows
Just keep passing the open windows
Just keep passing the open windows
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(Finishes the word 'yeah' being repeated many times)
