Just like when I was a child afraid of thunder and lightening.
I keep looking for that someone to make every thing all right,
And though I search and search, there is not that one in sight.

But then I finally realized the light is inside me.
No matter whom I search for; no matter what they say,
I have to make me happy. There is no other way.
