[Verse 1]
I was reborn when I was broken
I wouldn't believe, I wouldn't believe, no
Been through a storm, no use in hopin'
That you would come rescue me
Somehow your love set me free

[Chorus]
And I
I can let my life pass me by
I can get down and try
Work it all out this lifetime
Work it on out this time
I can let it all pass me by
Or I can get down and try
Work it all out this lifetime, lifetime

[Verse 2]
There was a time when love wasn't chosen
Now I'm just hopin' for more
Now I'm just reachin' out for somethin' better than I had before, girl
There ain't a bottom line in your world

[Chorus]
Ooh, and I
I can let my life pass me by
I can get down and try
Work it all out this lifetime
Work it on out this time
I can let it all pass me by
Or I can just try and try
I can move to the light
