- Lyrics:

Gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I'm older

This mountain I must climb
Feels like a world upon my shoulders
Through the clouds I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder


In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've travelled so far
To change this lonely life

[Refrain] :
I want to know what love is
I want you to show me
I want to feel what love is
I know you can show me

I'm gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me
I've got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me


[Refrain]

Lord help me to be strong
On this road I travel on
When I'm lost and lonely find me!
My journey's just begun
And I'm not the only one!
'Cause I wanna know
I wanna know

[Refrain]
