the more we see, the more we want to see
the more we are, the more we want to be (and oooo)
the more we love, the more we want to love (and oooo)
the more we get, the more your given' up
every time I wake to a new day
I replay, my way your way
give love a chance
to bring a new life, new life, new life
into a new life, new life. new life
I just want to feel you with me
someday be free
truly maybe
give love a chance
to bring a new life, new life, new life
into a new life, new life, new life
the more we see, the more we want to see
the more we are, the more we want to be (and oooo)
