Gary Moore - What Are We Here For? lyrics

Searching for the answers
Looking for the meaning of our different ways
Try to understand it
All of our misgivings is the price we pay

But what are we here for?
Have we learned a single thing?
What are we here for?
Have we been through everything
Or must we stay until we get it right?
Travelling through the darkness
Guided by the light that shines on everyone
Each of us an island
Moving through the universe since time began

But what are we here for?
Have we learned a single thing?
What are we here for?
Have we been through everything
Or must we stay until we get it right?

So many of our dreams are telling
Us just who we are
Where we're from and how we came so far
If we would only listen to the
Things within we know are true
Then all of us would see a brighter day

Searching for the answers
Hidden in the meaning of our different ways
Try to understand it
All of our misgivings is the price we pay

But what are we here for?
Have we learned a single thing?
What are we here for?
Have we been through everything
Or must we stay until we get it right?
Or must we stay until we get it right?
