What Are We Here For - Gary Moore

Searching for the answers

Looking for the meaning of our different ways

Try to understand it

All of our misgivings is the price we pay

But what are we here for

Have we learned a single thing

What are we here for

Have we been through everything

Or must we stay until we get it right

Travelling through the darkness

Guided by the light that shines on everyone

Each of us an island

Moving through the universe since time began

But what are we here for

Have we learned a single thing

What are we here for

Have we been through everything

Or must we stay until we get it right

So many of our dreams are telling us just who we are

Where we're from and how we came so far

If we would only listen to the things within we know are true

Then all of us would see a brighter day

Searching for the answers

Hidden in the meaning of our different ways

Try to understand it

All of our misgivings is the price we pay

But what are we here for

Have we learned a single thing

What are we here for

Have we been through everything

Or must we stay until we get it right

Or must we stay until we get it right
