Take one breath, one fundamental sign of life.
Don’t look back, don’t analyze the tears you cry.
Only the strong survive the silent sacrifice,
and I, I will be your heart of steel but power has a price.
Ain’t it time that you believe in someone,
ain’t it wrong to let the years go by
standing face to face forever live or die.
Hold me like a child, I’m not alive until you do,
what you hold in your hand is a miracle
and it’s dead if I don’t have you.
Hold me like a child, and swear you never let me go.
You’re the eye of the storm, the reason I laugh or cry,
live or die, I will stay with you.
Take one breath, one fundamental sign of life.
No bad blood, no pain can make you draw the knife.
Ah, We got a world of trouble but I will never change,
and even if we fall tomorrow, we will rise again.
Now is the time we show each other, these are the words I kept inside
standing face to face forever live of die.
Hold me like a child, I’m not alive until you do.
What you hold in your hand is a miracle
and it’s dead if I don’t have you.
Hold me like a child and swear you never let me go.
You’re the eye of the storm, the reason I laugh or cry,
live or die, I will stay with you,
live or die, I will stay with you.
Take one breath, one fundamental sign of life.
Don’t look back, we love each other live or die.
Hold me like a child, I’m not alive until you do.
Live or die, I will stay with you.
Take one breath, one fundamental sign of life.
Don’t look back, we love each other live or die.
Hold me like a child.
Take one breath, one fundamental sign of life.
Don’t look back, we love each other live or die.
Hold me like a child.
Take one breath, one fundamental sign of life.
Don’t look back, we love each other live or die.
Hold me like a child.
Take one breath, one fundamental sign of life.
Don’t look back, we love each other live or die.
