Lyrics & Translation

[English]

There's a stillness in time which I cannot define

Does your heart bleed like mine all the time, yeah?

For a place we can go where the troubles of our time are far away

Hey, they are so far away

And I had all my life in front of me

Now my darkness days are trouble-free

There are so many wondrous things for you to see

If you find that something's going wrong

Look around at what you're running from

You can wait a thousand years in line

For that stillness in time

Oh, I found love in that way, and I'm never sad, and I'm always glad

Anything you give me today, oh-yeah

I will be thankful for, oh-yeah

People find it hard to be strong

'Cause they don't know where they're coming from

Ooh, there was nothing left to do but hang on

For that stillness in time

...

(There's a stillness in time)

(Search the space inside my mind)

If this world is turning too fast for your head

Just remember how bad times can roll instead

Guess I'll have to search the space inside my mind

For that stillness in time, ay-yeah

Oh, I found love in that way, and I'm never sad, and I'm always glad

Ooh-yeah, anything you give me today

Oh-yeah, I will be thankful for

People find it hard to be strong

'Cause they don't know where they're coming from

Hey, there was nothing left to do but hang on

For that stillness in time

Ooh, la-la-la-la, la-la-lo, la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la, la-la-lo, la-la-la-la-lo

La-la-la-la, la-la-lo, la-la-la-la-la

La, la, la, la, la, lo, la, la, la, la, la, lo

La-la-la-la, la-la-lo, la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la, la-la-lo, la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la, la-la-lo, la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-lo
