[Verse 1]
I came a long way from out of nowhere
I stand before you
All alone, like a wolf's cry in the distance
I heard the calling of your soul
Oh... I hear you crying

[Chorus]
With your love, show me how to live
'Cause you are made of me
And I am made of you
With your life, show me how to give
You are made of me
And I am made of you

[Verse 2]
We'll walk together
Through the fire
Through the darkness
To the sun
Like two raging rivers full of passion
At the ocean, we are one
Oh... I hear you crying

[Chorus]
With your love, show me how to live
'Cause you are made of me
And I am made of you
With your life, show me how to give
You are made of me
And I am made of you

[Bridge]
I am made of you, you are made of me (I came a long way)
And everything you are
Is what I'm meant to be, i am made of you
You are made of me and everything i am (I stand before you)
Is what you made of me oh... I hear you crying
Oh... through the darkness to the light:

[Chorus]
With your love, show me how to live
'Cause you are made of me
And I am made of you
With your life, show me how to give
You are made of me
And I am made of you

[Outro]
With your heart
Show me what is true
'Cause you are made of me
And I am made of you
With your soul, walk my spirit through
You are made of me
And I am made of you
Oh... I hear you crying through the darkness, through the light

Enrique Martín Morales (born December 24, 1971), commonly known as Ricky Martin, is a Puerto Rican singer, actor and author. Martin began his career at age 12 with the all-boy pop group Menudo. After five years with the group, he released several Spanish-language solo albums throughout the 1990s. He also acted on stage and on TV in Mexico, where he achieved modest stardom. In 1994, he appeared on the US TV soap opera General Hospital, playing a Puerto Rican singer.

In early 1999, after releasing several albums in Spanish, Martin performed “The Cup of Life” at the 41st Annual Grammy Awards show, which became a catalyst in bringing Latin pop to the forefront of the U.S. music scene. Following its success, Martin released “Livin' la Vida Loca”, which helped him attain enormous success worldwide; it is generally seen as the song that began the Latin pop explosion of 1999 and made the transition easier for other Spanish-speaking artists to move into the English-speaking market. Since its release, the song has sold over 8 million copies, making it one of the best selling singles of all time. His first English-language album (also titled Ricky Martin), has sold 22 million copies and is one of the best selling albums of all time. His other studio albums Me Amarás (1993), A Medio Vivir (1995), Vuelve (1998), Sound Loaded (2000), Almas del Silencio (2003), Life (2005), Música + Alma + Sexo (2011), and A Quien Quiera Escuchar (2015). In 2018, he portrayed Antonio D'Amico on The Assassination of Gianni American Crime Story for which he received a nomination for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie.
