Here we are Out here me and you Reaching out each other Is all that we can do Here we stand Trying not to fall There's no need to worry Love will conquer all Do you really want to know Just how long love will last Will all of the bad times pass How can we make things right Ooh and why Why is the world so unkind, We surely can find peace of mind If we only see the light, can't we see that Here we are Out here me and you Reaching out each other Is all that we can do Ooh here we stand Trying not to fall There's no need to worry Love will conquer all Can somebody tell me why Why do our dreams go wrong Why can't we all belong Ooh, where do we start Oh and tell me when When will we ever learn There's nowhere else we can turn The truth is in our hearts, here we are together Sometimes the road gets hard to travel Sometimes the pains too much to bear Sometimes when life seems to unravel That's the time oh - to say We're gonna make it anyway Can't we see that Here we are Out here me and you Reaching out each other Is all that we can do Here we stand Trying not to fall There's no need to worry Love will conquer all
