Hey life, look at me, I can see the reality
'cause when you shook me, took me out of my world I woke up,
suddenly I just woke up -- to the happening.
When you find that you left the future behind
'cause when you find a tender love you don't take care of,
then you better beware of -- the happening.
One day you're up, when you turn around,
you find your world is tumbling down
It happened to me, and it can happen to you.
I was sure, I felt secure, until love took a detour
Yeah, I'm riding high on top of the world, it happened,
suddenly it just happened.
I saw my dreams torn apart, when love walked away from my heart
And when you lose a precious love you need to guide you,
something happens inside you -- the happening.
Now I see life for what it is
It's not a dream, ooh, it's not a bliss
It happened to me, and it can happen to you
|: |: Ooh, and then it happened :| :|
Is it real, is it fake? Is this game of life a mistake?
'cause when I lost the love I thought was mine for certain,
suddenly it'd start hurting.
I saw the lights too late, when that fickle finger of fate
yeah, it came and broke my pretty balloon, I woke up,
suddenly I just woke up -- to the happening.
So sure, I felt secure, until love took a detour
'cause when you got a tender love you don't take care of
then you better beware of -- the happening.
