The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
Is it love tonight When everyone's dreaming Of a better life In this world Divided by fear We've gotta believe that There's a reason we're here There's a reason we're here 'Cause these are the days worth livin' These are the years we're given And these are the moments These are the times Let's make the best out of our lives See the truth all around Our faith can be broken And our hands can be bound But open our hearts and fill up the emptyness With nothing to stop us Is it not worth the risk? Is it not worth the risk? 'Cause these are the days worth livin' These are the years we're given And these are the moments These are the times Let's make the best out of our lives Even if hope was shattered I know it wouldn't matter 'Cause these are the moments These are the times Let's make the best out of our lives We can't go on Thinking it's wrong To speak our minds I've gotta let out what's inside Is it love tonight When everyone's dreaming Can we get it right? Can we get it right? 'Cause these are the days worth livin' These are the years we're given And these are the moments These are the times Let's make the best out of our lives Even if hope was scattered I know it wouldn't matter These are the moments These are the times Let's make the best out of our lives
