How you spend your minutes are what matters
All tomorrows come from yesterdays
When you’re feeling broke and bruised and sometimes shattered
Blew out the candles on the cake like everything’s a big mistake
It seems you always wait for life to happen
And your last buck can’t buy a lucky break
If all we’ve got is us then life’s worth living
And if you’re in, you know I’m in
I’m ready and I’m willing
I am
When you think that no-one needs you
Sees you or believes you
No one’s there to understand
I am
I’ll be there to be that someone
When you think that no one is there to hold your hand
I am
We’re just who we are, there’s no pretending
It takes a while to learn to live in your own skin
Say a prayer that we might find our happy ending
And if you’re in, you know I’m in
I’m ready and I’m willing
I am
When you think that no-one needs you
Sees you or believes you
No one’s there to understand
I am
I’ll be there to be that someone
When you think that no one is there to hold your hand
I am
And I ain’t got no halo hanging over my head
I ain’t gonna judge you, I’m just here to love you
I am
I am
I am
When you think that no-one needs you
Sees you or believes you
No one’s there to understand
I am
I’ll be there to be that someone
When you think that no one is there to hold your hand
I am
I am
When you think that no-one needs you
Sees you or believes you
No one’s there to understand
I am
I’ll be there to be that someone
When you think that no one is there to hold your hand
I am
I am
I am
