[English]

You're saying it's hopeless, that I should hope less

Heaven can help us, well, maybe she might

You say it's beyond us

What is beyond us? Let's see and decide

We've been meteoric even before this

Burns half as long when it's twice as bright

So if it's beyond us, then it's beyond us

Let's see and decide

And I will still be here stargazing

I'll still lookup, lookup, lookup for love

I will still be here stargazing

I'll still lookup, lookup, lookup for love

For love

For love

For love

For love

I'm trying to save us; you don't want to save us

You blame human nature, and say it's unkind

Let's make up our own minds; we've got our whole lives

Let's see and decide, decide

And I will still be here stargazing

I'll still lookup, lookup, lookup for love

Stars don't disappear; they keep blazing

Even when the night is over

And I will still be here stargazing

I'll still lookup, lookup, lookup for love

Stars don't disappear; they keep blazing

Even when the night is over

That's how I find the light

That's how I find the light

Ooh-ooh

For love

For love

That's how I find the light

That's how I find the light

Ooh-ooh

For love

...
