Lost feelings return So now maybe I can learn To stop the world of a lie This time around Are we, are we, are we ourselves Are we, are we, are we ourselves Because seen through these eyes We lead a double life No one would know So check it out Stepping out Here I go Are we, are we, are we ourselves Are we ourselves And do we really know Most spirit returns Now maybe we learned To stop this whirl of a lie To this earth we are bound I ask you Are we, are we, are we ourselves Are we ourselves And do we really know Ooh do we know Are we ourselves
