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 sù
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 verita 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 verita via della libertà
My friend, 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 looks better up there
Come back every day more and more promising
After the rain comes the sun
I pray you’ll see the light and find your way
The strength of destiny that's in you
Do your best, take a chance, dare to dream and make it real
Follow the truth road to freedom
My friend, my friend
Don’t let go, let it flow
Believe in a 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 (I pray, I pray)
The strength of destiny that's in you
Do your best, take a chance, dare to dream and make it real
Follow the truth road to freedom
My friend, my friend
My friend, my friend
My friend
