I found a note with your name And a picture of us Even though it was framed And covered in dust It's the map in my mind that sends me on my way They say it's never too late To stop being afraid And there is no one else here So why should I wait? And in the blink of an eye the past begins to fade So have you ever been caught in a sea of despair? And your moment of truth Is the day that you say "I'm not scared" Put your hands in the air If you hear me out there I've been looking for you day and night Shine a light in the dark Let me see where you are 'Cause I'm not gonna leave you behind If I told you that you're not alone And I show you this is where you belong Put your hands in the air One more time I've seen a million miles Met a million faces Took all I knew To reach all these places And I'd do it again If it brings me back to you So have you ever been caught in a sea of despair? And your moment of truth Is the day that you say "I'm not scared" Put your hands in the air If you hear me out there I've been looking for you day and night Shine a light in the dark Let me see where you are 'Cause I'm not gonna leave you behind If I told you that you're not alone And I show you this is where you belong Put your hands in the air One more time Put your hands in the air Put your hands in the air If you hear me out there I've been looking for you day and night Shine a light in the dark Let me see where you are 'Cause I'm not gonna leave you behind If I told you that you're not alone And I show you this is where you belong Put your hands in the air One more time Put your hands in the air One more time
