[Verse 1: Nelly Furtado]
I've been high, I've been low
I've been fast, I've been slow
I've had nowhere to go
Missed the bus, missed the show
I've been down on my luck
I've felt like giving up
My life locked in a trunk
When it hurt way too much
Needed a reason to live
Some love inside me to give
I couldn't rest I had to keep on searching

[Chorus: Nelly Furtado & Juanes]
Te busqué, debajo de las piedras y no te encontré
En la mañana fría y en la noche te busqué
Hasta enloquecer
Pero tú, llegaste a mi vida como una luz
Sanando las heridas de mi corazón
Haciéndome sentir, vivo otra vez

[Verse 2: Nelly Furtado]
I've been too sad to speak and too tired to eat
Been too lonely to sing the devil cut off my wings
I've been hurt by my past, but I feel the future
In my dreams and it lasts
I wake up, I'm not sure
I wanted to find a light, something just didn't feel right
I needed an answer to end all my searching

[Chorus: Nelly Furtado & Juanes]
Te busqué, debajo de las piedras y no te encontré
En la mañana fría y en la noche te busqué
Hasta enloquecer
Pero tú, llegaste a mi vida como una luz
Sanando las heridas de mi corazón
Haciéndome sentir, vivo otra vez

[Bridge: Nelly Furtado]
I look in the mirror; the picture's getting clearer (Ooh yeah)
I wanna be myself but does the world really need her (Ah)
I ache for this earth, I stopped going to church (Oh)
See God in the trees, makes me fall to my knees
My depression keeps building like a cup overfilling
My heart so rigid, I keep it in the fridge (Oh)
It hurts so bad that I can't dry my eyes (Ah)
'Cause they keep on refillin' with the tears that I cry (Hey)

[Chorus: Nelly Furtado & Juanes]
Te busqué, debajo de las piedras y no te encontré
En la mañana fría y en la noche te busqué
Hasta enloquecer
Pero tú, llegaste a mi vida como una luz
Sanando las heridas de mi corazón
Haciéndome sentir, vivo otra vez
Te busqué, debajo de las piedras y no te encontré
En la mañana fría y en la noche te busqué
Hasta enloquecer
Pero tú, llegaste a mi vida como una luz
Sanando las heridas de mi corazón
Haciéndome sentir, vivo otra vez
Te busqué, debajo de las piedras y no te encontré
En la mañana fría y en la noche te busqué
Hasta enloquecer
Pero tú, llegaste a mi vida como una luz
Sanando las heridas de mi corazón
Haciéndome sentir, vivo otra vez
