In my mind, I can see miraclesI can also see deathIn my mind, I can mourn for a minuteI can also know this moment of joyIn my mind, I can vacillateI can also fixate on what ifIn my mind, I can ask GodPlease, please, please change your mind

In the world, I am cheerfulI wear a smile and I am living for todayIn the world, I am confidentI say I'm fine and that is trueIn the world, I am a beaconI channel hope and faith and loveIn the world I cheerlead I ask our friends to join us in ecstasy today

In the world we are luckyWe found our love and live it wellIn the world we are hopefulWe treat each minute like a dayIn the world we are randomCancer strikes where it willIn the world we cling to one anotherWe would have done that anyway

In my mind, I am sometimes fearfulI wonder what we won't get to haveIn my mind, I can fall off track sometimesI don't know if I can bear what comes to beIn my mind, I cry for an instantI don't want to lose this love I haveIn my mind, I seek God's helpI want today to go on and on

Whatever comes our way, we'll go hand in handWhatever comes our way, we'll face it togetherWhatever comes our way, we'll know we have been luckyWhatever comes our way, we have known love.
