As my life goes on I believe Somehow something's changed Something deep inside Ooh a part of me There's a strange new light in my eyes Things I've never known Changing my life Changing me I've been searchin' So long To find an answer Now I know my life has meaning, oh Now I see myself as I am Feeling very free Life is everything Ooh it's meant to be When my days have come to an end I will understand What I left behind Part of me I've been searching So long To find and answer Now I know my life has meaning, whoa Searching (don't you know I'm) For an answer To the question Oh yeah "Who am I?" Maybe (maybe it's true) It's only natural (it's only natural baby, yeah) Good things In life Take a long time (yeah yeah)
