作曲 : Brooke Fraser I just spoke silence with the seeker next to me She had a heart with hesitant, halting speech That turned to mine and asked belligerently: 'What do I live for?' I see the scars of searches everywhere I go From hearts to wars to literature to radio There's a question like shame no one will show: 'What do I live for?'
