When All Else Fails Lyrics

John farnham, ross fraser, and phil buckle

I'm searching for something
That's so hard to find
I'm falling down mountains
I can't seem to climb
Driving down highways
That don't have an end
I can't find the sign, am I lost again

When all else fails - you will be there
When all else fails - I'll hold on to you
When all else fails - you'll still be there
When all else fails - I'll turn to you

I'm selfish and jealous
I'm proud and a fool
I'm walking with strangers
And strangers are cruel
I'm praying to gods
That I don't even know
I'm ready and willing
Where do I go?

When all else fails - you will be there
When all else fails - I'll hold on to you
When all else fails - you'll still be there
When all else fails - I'll turn to you

I know I might be mistake
But it's the chance I'm taking
I'm walking on the wire
I have been burned by temptation
I'm drawn into that fire
I'm lost in my desire

When all else fails - you will be there
When all else fails - I'll hold on to you
When all else fails - you'll still be there
When all else fails - I'll turn to you
