CLook what we found, Karma reached out CInto our hearts and pulled us to our feet now CYou know the truth is we could disappear CAnywhere, as long as I got you there CWhen the sun dies, till the day shines CWhen I'm with you, there's not enough time CYou are my spring flower, watching you bloom, wow CWe are surrounded but I can only see
