[Verse 1: Sporty, Posh, Baby]
What makes this world go round?
Will the answer let her down?
She is so sweet and young
And her life has just begun
What does her future hold?
That's a story left unknown
Will she make it through her days?
Let our love lead the way
[Chorus: All, (Sporty), Posh & Scary]
Part of me laughs (Ooh)
Part of me cries
Part of me wants to question why (Question why)
Why is there joy?
Why is there pain?
Why is there sunshine and the rain?
(One day) One day you're here
Next you are gone (You're gone)
No matter what we must go on
Just keep the faith and
Let love lead the way
(Everything will work out fine if you let love)
Love lead the way
[Verse 2: Sporty, Scary, Baby]
Sitting there all alone
In the window of her room
Watching the world go by
Brings tears to her eyes
All she sees is hurt and pain
She wants to break the chain
She'll keep pressing every day
And she'll find her own sweet way
[Chorus: All, (Baby)]
Part of me laughs (Me laughs)
Part of me cries (I cry)
Part of me wants to question why (Wants to question why)
Why is there joy?
Why is there pain? (So much pain)
Why is there sunshine and the rain? (Why is there sunshine then the rain?)
One day you're here (You're here)
Next day you're gone (You're gone)
No matter what we must go on (I will go on)
Just keep the faith and (Keep your faith)
Let love lead the way
(I know I know I know I know)
[Bridge: Sporty, All, Baby]
You can be all that
And still can be who you are
You've got to know for sure
That it isn't make believe
You may feel weak
But you are strong
Don't you give up, girl
If you keep holding on
You'll never be wrong
Just close your eyes
'Cause it lies deep in your heart, yeah
[Chorus: All, (Scary), (Sporty), Posh & Scary]
Part of me laughs
Part of me cries (I cry)
Part of me wants to question why (I do, I do)
Why is there joy? (Yeah, yeah)
Why is there pain? (Ooh)
Why is there sunshine and the rain? (Why is there? Why is there sunshine and the rain?)
One day you're here (You're here)
Next you are gone (All gone)
No matter what
We must go on
Just keep the faith and (Keep the faith)
Let love lead the way (Love lead the way)
Part of me laughs (I love you)
Part of me cries (I cry)
Part of me wants to question why (Question why)
Why is there joy? (So much joy)
Why is there pain? (So much pain)
Why is there sunshine and the rain? (Sunshine and the rain)
One day you're here (You're here)
Next you are gone (You're gone)
No matter what
We must go on (I will)
Just keep the faith and
Let love lead the way (Lead the way)
(Everything will work out fine if you let love)
Love lead the way
Love lead the way
Love lead the way
Love lead the way
