[Verse 1]
Now the tears are falling
But not again
Do not fear the darkness
It has to end

If we hold together
Be as one
I know finally
We'll see the sun

[Chorus]
I'm not trying to save the world
Only wanna make us better
Cause we all want to feel that our lives have a reason
And you've given me hope something I can believe in

[Verse 2]
Sorrow is no stranger
Not to me
He has often brought me
To my knees

But if we stand together
In the light
I can promise
You will be alright

[Chorus]
I'm not trying save the world
Only wanna make us better
I'm not trying to save the world
I know nothing lasts forever
Cause we all want to feel that our lives have a reason
And you've given me hope something I can believe in

Ooh
Ooh, yeah

I'm not trying to save the world
Only wanna make us better
I'm not trying to save the world
I know nothing lasts forever

I'm not trying to save the world
('Cause we all want to feel that our lives have a reason)
Only wanna make us better
(And you've given me hope something I can believe in)
I'm not trying to save the world
('Cause we all want to feel that our lives have a reason)
I know nothing lasts forever
(And you've given me hope something I can believe in)

I'm not trying to save
You believe me?
Save the world baby, no
