No more wasting time Synchronize Tell them this is mine Don't Walk the other way Tell me you will stay Give me one more day So give up, I'm going on If you stop, It won't change One of us has lost the feeling Which of us is not believing now? You can have it all I don't need it Tell them this is mine Wanting is no crime Happens all the time When it gets you down Rise and leave it Tell them this is mine Push away the stone We are not alone Look into my eyes And together we will rise Above all we've seen We will realize, synchronize Tell them this is mine Wanting is no crime Happens all the time Hold Touch this hand of mine Come away and find What we left behind So move up, we're going on To the top, we'll take it One by one we've got the feeling Which of us is not believing now? Look into my eyes And together we will rise Above all we've seen We will realize, synchronize
