As my time goes by

On the mean, cruel earth

Trying to find some peace

A little something to believe in

How can things go so wrong

In such a beautiful world

Why are so many people crying

Where's humanity gone

And every time it gets so dark

There's nothing for me to see



Something comes along (just like you)

Yea, just like you

Something so unbelievably beautiful

Just like you



Well, it happened the other day

I'm just walking down the street

I'm looking down at my shoes

With only myself in my way

I'm livin' in my head

Too much life in my veins

Forgetting all of the time

We're always in motion with angels

And every time it gets so dark

And there's nothing for me to see



Something comes along (just like you)

Yea, just like you

Something so unbelievably beautiful

Just like you



As my time goes by

On this mean, cruel world

Trying to find some peace

A little happiness to believe in

How can things go so wrong

In such a beautiful world

Why are so many millions crying

Where's humanity gone

And every time it gets so dark

There's nothing for me to see



Something comes along (just like you)

Yea, just like you

Something so unbelievably beautiful

Just like you



Yea come along (just like you)

Yea, just like you (just like you)

Something so unbelievably beautiful

Just like you
