Kan du nånsin förstå varför jag ville gå?
Jag tror att du har känt som jag
Du visste att det fanns en dag när jag skulle gå
Liv, jag måste ha ett liv
Söka mig egna vägar
Hitta mig själv nu
Nej, jag ska alltid minnas att du finns
Du lever inom mig
Men jag vill börja nu att leva mitt liv
Nu när natten är här är här är jag ensam igen
Och jag tänker på dig, kanske saknar du mig
Det är så starka band vi har
En del av mig finns alltid kvar hos dig fast jag går
Liv, jag måste ha ett liv
Söka mig egna vägar
Hitta mig själv nu
Tro inte att jag har glömt
Nej, jag ska alltid minnas att du finns
Du lever inom mig
Men jag vill börja nu att leva mitt liv
Du gav mig livet, det liv som var ditt
Nu är det jag som ska leva mitt
Det finns en värld där utanför, och den väntar på mig
Liv, jag måste ha ett liv
Söka mig egna vägar
Hitta mig själv nu
Tro inte att jag har glömt
Nej, jag ska alltid minnas att du finns
Du lever inom mig
Men jag vill börja nu att leva mitt liv
Liv, jag måste ha ett liv
Söka mig egna vägar
