[English]

I am just a sailor in a great big sea

Searching for what's meant for me

And I thank my lucky stars every single day

I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be

When the storm begins to blow

When I've lost my way back home

Oh, there is an answer

Oh, there is an answer

There is a ripple to every wave

A rhythm to the days and nights

And all our thoughts, they make the world go round

All our efforts multiply

Make a change, and you will see

One small step is all we need

Oh, there is an answer

Oh, there is an answer

There is no difference between you and me

It lies beyond our history

And if we only take the time to see we're all we need

Just take my hand, and see me as a brother

Look inside, and you will find

Love exists in every kind

Oh, there is an answer

Oh, there is an answer

Near or far, oh I believe that love will find us there

Through the dark, oh I believe that love will find us there

Oh, I believe that love will find us there

Oh, I believe that love will find us there

Oh, I believe that love will find us there

Oh, there is an answer
