Lyrics
He-ere, he-ere - everything is by design Everything is by design He-ere, he-ere - everything is kept inside So take a chance and step outside Your hopes, your dreams, your paradise Heroes, idols cracked like ice He-ere, he-ere - everything is kept inside So take a chance and step outside Feel frustration face to face A point of view creates more waves So take a chance and step outside Take a chance and step outside Lose some sleep and say you tried Meet frustration face to face A point of view creates more waves So lose some sleep and say you tried -- Say you tried -- Yeah, lose some sleep and say you tried --
The live versions shuffle the words around as follows:
Heart and Soul version He-ere - everything is by design He-ere - everything is by design Your hopes, your dreams, your paradise See your idols cracked like ice Politicians want more vice Everything is by design Take a chance and say you tried -- He-ere - everything is kept inside He-ere - everything is kept inside Feel frustration face to face No time to stop - no time to race Well everything is by design Everything is by design Take a chance and say you tried --	De Effenaar version He-ere, he-ere - everything is by design Everything is by design Your hopes, your dreams, your paradise See your idols cracked like ice Take a chance and step outside Take a chance and say you tried Say you tried -- He-ere, he-ere - everything is kept inside Everything is kept inside Your hopes, your dreams, your paradise It only took one lie Everything is kept inside Everything is kept inside Take a chance and say you tried -- Say you tried --
