(I Can't Make It) Another Day

Michael Jackson · MICHAEL [2010]

My life has taken me beyond the planets and the stars

And you're the only one that could take me this far

I'll be forever searching for your love



I walked away but I was wrong

You're the one that makes me strong

You're the fire that keeps me warm

How will I get through this storm?



At night, I pray before I sleep in hope of find the stars

And you're the only one that could take me this far

I'll be forever searching for your love



I walked away but I was wrong

You're the one that makes me strong

You're the fire that keeps me warm

How will I get through this storm?



I walked away but I was wrong

You're the one that makes me strong

You're the fire that keeps me warm

How will I get through this storm?



I walked away but I was wrong

You're the one that makes me strong

You're the fire that keeps me warm

How will I get through this storm?
