lyrics

I’ll go down, go down
To the water slow
Where the songs of hope
Play in stereo

Sunrise, sunrise
As it’s sinking in
Feel like giving in
When the living’s grim

Life has a way of getting you down
But you can’t stop now there’s a journey to find
And you need to be strong need to carry on
Or the feeling inside won’t be there very long

You’re a human being
Human beings
We need love to believe in
So hold on to that feeling

I’ll hold onto you
As I’m floating out
A buoy in the blue
A beacon in the shroud

And if I let you go
Under flights of geese
Would that light still glow?
Sea up to my knees

Love is a sting that you’ll never heal
But you know when it’s good and you know when it’s real
And the need to be found or to find a friend
If you don’t have it now then it’s just round the bend

You’re a human being
Human beings
We need love to believe in
So hold on to that feeling

I’ve been in too deep
I’ve been underneath
Now I’m in your eyes
They’re an emerald sea

I am alive and my love is beside me
I see all the ways that this love can provide me
With hope for a future not sitting alone
And a reason to stand up and answer the phone

I’m a human being
Human being
I need love to believe in
So I’ll hold on to that feeling
