Life is too far to walk alone
You can't do it on your own
It's like bare hands digging through stone

And if things go down much steeper hills
Even money won't pay these bills
And time will show, show, show

(chorus)
That people gonna be OK
Storms never come to stay
How bad we need each other
How bad we need each other
And the trials of today
They are signs along the way
How bad we need each other
How bad we need each other

You know I can get so high on myself sometimes
I keep on drifting a million miles from this planet
But what a shame it would be to look back on our life
And realize that I've taken you and me for granted
Not gonna do it now

(chorus)

And I cannot see what's a mile around the bend
I don't know where this world is headed
Or where it may end
But you gave me this smile
And so I threw away my frown
And I ain't gonna pick up
Something if I just put down

(chorus)

(chorus)

La vita è troppo lontana per camminare da soli
Non puoi farlo da solo
È come le mani nude che scavano nella pietra

E se le cose scendono per colline molto più ripide
Anche i soldi non pagheranno queste bollette
E il tempo mostrerà, mostrerà, mostrerà

(rit.)
Quella gente starà bene
Le tempeste non vengono mai per restare
Quanto male abbiamo bisogno l'uno dell'altro
Quanto male abbiamo bisogno l'uno dell'altro
E le prove di oggi
Sono segni lungo la strada
Quanto male abbiamo bisogno l'uno dell'altro
Quanto male abbiamo bisogno l'uno dell'altro

Sai che a volte posso sballarmi così tanto
Continuo ad andare alla deriva a un milione di miglia da questo pianeta
Ma che vergogna sarebbe guardare indietro alla nostra vita
E renditi conto che ho dato te e me per scontato
Non lo farò adesso

(rit.)

E non riesco a vedere cosa c'è dietro la curva
Non so dove sia diretto questo mondo
O dove potrebbe finire
Ma mi hai regalato questo sorriso
E così ho buttato via il mio cipiglio
E non risponderò
Qualcosa se metto giù

(rit.)
