Lyrics
I don’t know what it is that makes me feel alive
I don’t know how to wake the things that sleep inside
I only wanna see the light that shines behind your eyes
I hope that I can say the things I wish I’d said
To sing my soul to sleep and take me back to bed
Who wants to be alone when we can feel alive instead
Because we need each other
We believe in one another
And I know we’re going to uncover
What’s sleepin’ in our soul
Because we need each other
We believe in one another
I know we’re going to uncover
What’s sleepin’ in our soul
What’s sleepin’ in our soul
There are many things that I would like to know
And there are many places that I wish to go
But everything’s depending on the way the wind may blow
I don’t know what it is that makes me feel alive
I don’t know how to wake the things that sleep inside
I only want to see the light that shines behind your eyes
Because we need each other
We believe in one another
And I know we’re going to uncover
What’s sleepin’ in our soul
Because we need each other
We believe in one another
And I know we’re going to uncover
What’s sleepin’ in our soul
What’s sleepin’ in our soul
What’s sleepin’ in our soul
What’s sleepin’ in our soul
‘Cause we believe
‘Cause we believe
Yeah we believe
‘Cause we believe
‘Cause we believe
‘Cause we believe
Because we need
Because what we need

Notes
"Acquiesce" is a classic Oasis B-side from the **"Some Might Say"** single, released in 1995. Written by **Noel Gallagher**, the song features both **Liam** and **Noel** sharing lead vocals, capturing the dynamic spirit of the band. It is often praised for its anthemic lyrics and powerful chorus, emphasizing the theme of unity and mutual support. Despite being a B-side, "Acquiesce" became a fan favorite and was even included on the 1998 compilation album *The Masterplan*. The song embodies the raw energy and camaraderie that defined Oasis's golden era.
