Many battles are lost
But you’ll never see the end of the road
When you’re travelling with me

Electricity starts to flow
And my indicator starts to glow

Before life removed all the innocence

Everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home

I absolutely love this song ❤️

shinynewapple2021 · 23/01/2021 22:38

Correct to Love Machine Steve ,
The original was by the Miracles,
