All my life I keep on searching for that special thing
  How I've tried to always find a love and understanding
  To always see the light of day and to know that I am living
  All my life I won't take if I'm not giving
  
  Only when the rain comes down
  Only when the lightning strikes me
  Will I find the answer for myself
  
  Chorus:
  It's got to be real
  Be the best nothing less than wonderful
  It's got to be real this time
  What's waiting there inside
  It's got to be real
  Knowing love know it can be powerful
  It's got to be really love
  So we can rise above
  
  All my life I try to see the love inside myself
  And I keep on trying in no uncertain terms
  To let my light shine through
  
  Only when the rain comes down
  Only when the lightning strikes me
  Will I find the answer for myself
  
  (Chorus)
  
  To always see the light of day and to know that I am living
  All my life I won't take if I'm not giving
  
  Only when the rain comes down
  Only when the lightning strikes me
  Will I find the answer for myself
  
  (Chorus)
