Lyrics & Translation

[English]

What makes this world go round

Will the answer let her down

She is so sweet and young

And her life has just begun

What does her future hold

That's a story left unknown

Will she make it through her days

Let her Love lead the way

Part of me laughs

Part of me cries

Part of me wants to question why

Why is there joy

Why is there pain

Why is there sunshine and the rain

One day you're here

Next you are gone

No matter what we must go on

Just keep the faith and

Let Love Lead the Way

You can be all bad

And still can be who you are

You've got to know for sure

That it isn't make believe

You may feel weak

But you are strong

Don't you give up

If you keep holding on

You'll never be wrong

Just close youre eyes cos it lies

Deep in your heart

Yeah

Part of me laughs

Part of me cries

Part of me wants to question why

Why is there joy

Why is there pain

Why is there sunshine and the rain

One day you're here

Next you are gone

No matter what we must go on

Just keep the faith and

Let love lead the way

Love lead the way
