Hey, life, look at me, I can see the reality
Cause when you shook me, took me outta my world, I woke up
Suddenly, I just woke up to the happening

When you find that you left the future behind
'Cause when you've got a tender love that you don't take care of
Then you better beware of
The happening

One day you're up, when you turn around
You find your world is tumbling down
It happened to me and it can happen to you

I was sure
I felt secure, until love took a detour
Yes, riding high on top of the world, it happened
Suddenly, it just happened

I saw my dreams torn apart
When love walked away from my heart
And when you lose a precious love that you need to guide you
Something happens inside you
The happening

Now, I see life, for what it is
It's not of dreams, it's not of bliss
It happened to me and it can happen to you

So sure
I felt secure, until love took a detour
'Cause when you've got a tender love that you don't take care of
Then you better beware of
The happening, the happening, the happening
The happening
