To see it in something,
Life you want it takes long
To see him so happy, you find you talking if you want.
Don't wanna be a messenger
To see it in something,
Your eyes are opened and you're on
I'm here and I'm ready,
My time's for taking if you want.
Who wants to be a messenger?
Who wants to be a messenger?
We could get going
Who wants to be a messenger?
Who wants to be the messenger?
We could get going
Who wants to be a messenger?
We could get on
