Lyrics

The Karate Kid

[Verse]

As much as I could, as much as I tried

I just couldn't seem to find the light

The trees for the wood, the wars left and right

Umbrellas with the rain in

I turn on the news, the news has turned off

All the people that the world forgot

The blues get the blues, but the view from the top

Is the ocean in a drop

[Chorus]

Whatever happens to

Everything that we go through

I see you got your new tattoo

I didn't know someone felt that way too

Maybe we can share the rain

Maybe we can dance again

Maybe we can make the sky turn blue

Oh, Daniel knows how to make a dream

How to make a dream come true

Oh Daniel, could I be the one for you?

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

Whatever happens to

Everything that we go through

I see you got your new tattoo

I didn't know someone felt that way too

Maybe we can dance again

Maybe we can share the pain

Maybe we can make the sky turn blue

Oh, Daniel knows how to make a dream

How to make a dream come true

Oh Daniel, could I be the one for you?
