(Gary Moore)

Searching for the answers,
Looking for the meaning of our different ways
Try to understand it,
All of our misgivings is the price we pay

But what are we here for?
Have we learned a single thing?
What are we here for?
Have we been through everything,
Or must we stay until we get it right?

Travelling through the darkness,
Guided by the light that shines on everyone
Each of us an island,
Moving through the universe since time began

But what are we here for?
Have we learned a single thing?
What are we here for?
Have we been through everything,
Or must we stay until we get it right?

So many of our dreams are telling us just who we are,
Where we're from and how we came so far
If we would only listen to the things within we know are true,
Then all of us would see a brighter day

Searching for the answers,
Hidden in the meaning of our different ways
Try to understand it,
All of our misgivings is the price we pay

But what are we here for?
Have we learned a single thing?
What are we here for?
Have we been through everything,
Or must we stay until we get it right?
Or must we stay until we get it right?
