In the day light
Struggle to get on
And you know me
Understand me
You will make me strong
You will make me strong
Look at me
Here I am
Reaching for your arms again
Of all the hurt and all the pain
Get back on my feet again
Hear me sying
Feel the crying
I am not alone
'Cause you see me
Want to be me
Melancholy soul

Look at me

One of the best songs of Tiesto. TIESTO IS THE BEST YESTERDAY, TODAY AND FOREVER!!! I think Kaleidoscope is the best tiesto's album.
