[Verse 1]
I'm a new soul
I came to this strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit about how to give and take
But since I came here
Felt the joy and the fear
Finding myself making every possible mistake
[Chorus]
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
[Verse 2]
I'm a young soul in this very strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit 'bout what is true and fake
But why all this hate? Try to communicate
Finding trust and love is not always easy to make
[Chorus]
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, ooh
[Bridge]
This is a happy end
'Cause you don't understand
Everything you have done
Why's everything so wrong
This is a happy end
Come and give me your hand
I'll take you far away
[Verse 1]
I'm a new soul (This is a happy end)
I came to this strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit 'bout how to give and take
But since I came here (This is a happy end)
Felt the joy and the fear
Finding myself making every possible mistake
[Outro]
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la (I'm a new soul)
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la (In this very strange world)
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la (Every possible mistake)
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la (Possible mistake)
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la (Every possible mistake)
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la (-stakes, -stakes, -stakes)
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
