I was standing All alone against the world outside You were searching For a place to hide Lost and lonely Now you've given me the will to survive When we're hungry, love will keep us alive Don't you worry Sometimes you've just gotta let it ride The world is changing Right before your eyes Now I've found you There's no more emptiness inside When we're hungry, love will keep us alive I would die for you Climb the highest mountain Baby, there's nothing I wouldn't do Now I've found you There's no more emptiness inside When we're hungry, love will keep us alive I would die for you Climb the highest mountain Baby, there's nothing I wouldn't do I was standing All alone against the world outside You were searching For a place to hide Lost and lonely Now you've given me the will to survive When we're hungry, love will keep us alive When we're hungry, love will keep us alive When we're hungry, love will keep us alive
