I'm a new soul I came to this strange world Hoping I could learn a bit 'bout how to give and take But since I came here, felt the joy and the fear Finding myself making every possible mistake La, la, la, la See 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 La, la, la, la 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 I'm a new soul I came to this strange world Hoping to learn a bit 'bout how to give and take But since I came here, felt the joy and the fear Finding myself making every possible mistake New soul (la, la, la, la,) In this very strange world Every possible mistake Possible mistake Every possible mistake Mistakes, mistakes, mistakes
