"There are only two ways to live your life
One is as though nothing is a miracle
The other is as though everything is a miracle”
There’s a miracle, my friend, and it happens every day
Hold out your hand, don’t let it slip away
Io so che esiste, guarda meglio su
Ritorna ogni giorno promettendo sempre più
After the rain nasce il sole
I pray you’ll see the light and find your way
La forza del destino che è in te
Do your best, take a chance, dare to dream and make it real
Segui la verità, via della libertà
My friend, my friend
Don’t let go, let it flow
Credi nel miracolo
For the miracle that I’m talking of
Is the life that we’re given
La vita vincerà
I pray you’ll see the light and find your way (I pray, I pray)
La forza del destino che è in te
Do your best, take a chance, dare to dream and make it real
Segui la verità, via della libertà
My friend, my friend
My friend, my friend
“There are only two ways to live your life
One is as though nothing is a miracle
The other is as though everything is a miracle”
There’s a miracle, my friend, and it happens every day
Hold out your hand, don’t let it slip away
I know that it exists, look closely
It comes back every day promising more and more
After the rain the sun rises
I pray you’ll see the light and find your way
The power of fate that is within you
Do your best, take a chance, dare to dream and make it real
Follow the truth, the path to freedom
My friend, my friend
Don’t let go, let it flow
Believe in miracle
For the miracle that I’m talking of
Is the life that we’re given
Life will win
I pray you’ll see the light and find your way
The power of fate that is within you
Do your best, take a chance, dare to dream and make it real
Follow the truth, the path to freedom
My friend, my friend
My friend, my friend
