All that is near us 
We must know
Could disappear any day 
Be careful 
The main key to finding happiness 
Lies nowhere else but in my soul 


You could reminisce; you could recall 
The very last time you felt joy 
Or maybe you are so blessed to a point 
Where you can't remember anything 
It's a harmony, a miracle 
Being able to breathe and live at all 
So here is your one and only chance 
Life is an opportunity 


All that is near us 
We must know
Could disappear any day 
Be careful 
The main key to finding happiness 
Lies nowhere else but in my soul 
You know the closer you get to something 
The tougher it is to see it 
And I'll never take it for granted 
Let's go 


Some people may call a kind deed 
An act of mere hypocrisy 
But never mind those who have lost faith 
You shouldn't give in to what they say 
As a matter of fact, let me tell you 
Even if it was for a selfish cause 
A salvageable hypocrisy 
Is superior to murderous honesty 


Everybody tells you from time to time
To never give up like a phrase from a movie
They tell you to stand up for yourself
As if was always that easy
Gather a handful of courage in my heart
To go on and survive another day
And I'll never take it for granted
Let's go

And I'll never take it for granted

Gather a handful of courage in my heart
