In This Life
Delta Goodrem Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was sheltered,
I was curious and young.
I was searchin' for that something,
Tryin' to find it on the run.
Oh and just when I stopped lookin',
I saw just how far I'd come.
In this life
You give me love,
You give me light,
Show me everythings been happenin',
I've opened up my eyes,
I'm followin'
3 steps fight an honest fight, (oh)
2 hearts, they can start a fire, (yeah yeah)
1 love is all I need in this life (oh)
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
In this life
I have faltered
I have stumbled,
I have found my feet again.
I've been angry,
And I've been shaken,
Found a new place to begin.
And my persistence to make a difference,
Has led me safe into your hands.
In this life
In this life
You give me love,
You give me light,
Show me everythings been happenin',
I've opened up my eyes,
I'm followin'
3 steps fight an honest fight, (oh)
2 hearts, they can start a fire, (yeah yeah)
1 love is all I need in this life (oh)
In this life
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
I was put here for a reason,
I was born into this world.
And I'm living, and I'm believing
That I was meant to be your girl
In this life
In this life
You give me love,
You give me light,
Show me everythings been happenin',
I've opened up my eyes,
I'm followin'
3 steps fight an honest fight, (oh)
2 hearts, they can start a fire, (yeah yeah)
1 love is all I need in this life (oh)
3 steps fight an honest fight (oh)
2 hearts, they can start a fire (yeah yeah)
1 love is all I need
In this life (oh)
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
In this life
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
In this life
In this life
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah

This song was part of my childhood.
When I was a kid, I listened every day through a tablet, but it stopped working after a few days. I searched for 10 years and found it now. Thank you so much for singing this song.
@MattsRanger
That’s how I found her. This video at that. I was floored. I then searched web fast for higher quality audio - led me to YouTube of course.
