I can see it in your eyes,
We're all looking for a sign,
To understand,
To understand,
Is there a plan?
We were living separate lives,
With no room for compromise,
Falling down again,
See you Rise Again
This is not the end, my friend
Cos when the music
Is your only friend
You might fall but you will Rise Again
When there's music
When there's music
When there's music
And a spirit'll always Rise Again
I know this life is not the end
I always knew it
We never lose it
Its how we use it
I can see it in your eyes,
With no faith there is no life,
Falling down Again
I see you Rise Again
This is not the end, my friend
Chorus
One day they'll be no pain
One day they'll be no pain
Cos when the music is your only friend
Cos when the music is your only friend
Cos when the music is your only friend
You might fall but you will Rise Again
Cos when the music is you only friend
You might fall but you will Rise Again
Cos when there's music
When there's music
When there's music
When there's music
