lyrics

It wasn't all that long ago 
Where life was new, not even time was old 
So much I didn't know, so much I thought I knew 
What I know now, I'll give to you 
 
Before you act, think once or twice 
When you are likely wrong 
Choose to be nice and don't regret the past 
Some good can come from bad 
Cause no one's perfect all the time 
 
Cause we're all floating 
The sphere in the sky 
Don't know where we're going 
Figure out why 
A little more patience see the other side 
What it means to be human 
To be alive 
 
Love those who will catch your fall 
And bare your soul when others build up walls 
Make every moment count, surpass your every doubt 
How long we've got, we'll never know 
 
Cause we're all floating 
The sphere in the sky 
Don't know where we're going 
Figure out why 
A little more patience see the other side 
What it means to be human 
To be alive 
 
There's a world you don't understand yet 
Where the good hearts die and turn cold 
It's a matter of how you perceive it 
It's a chance you make or withhold 
 
Cause we're all floating 
The sphere in the sky 
Don't know where we're going 
Figure out why 
A little more patience see the other side 
What it means to be human 
 
Cause we're all floating 
The sphere in the sky 
Don't know where we're going 
Figure out why 
A little more patience see the other side 
What it means to be human 
To be alive 
To be alive
