How much hurt can we take When it's cold outside all I can do is hide and pray for better times Oh how I need a friend to wipe the tears from my eyes Love is hard to find in somewhere so unkind When it's been left here behind There is a place somewhere and if you'll lead me there Then we can open our eyes Chorus: So take me away So far, so far away Oh, won't you take me to a better day Take me away (Japanese lyric) Oh, take me away (Japanese lyric) It's easy just hold me in your arms 'Cause when the world is upside down We can bring it round How much hurt can we take How much hurt can we take It seems that everywhere although we tried to care We're just not taking the time When all we communicate is full of greed and hate It's time to open our eyes (Chorus) (Japanese lyric) We can bring it round (Japanese lyric) We can bring it round (Japanese lyric) There is a place somewhere and if you lead me there Then we can open our eyes Then we can open our eyes (Repeat Chorus to Fade)
