Delicado exercício de introspeção romântica, Has to Be é uma das canções mais mal conhecidas na trajectória de Madonna. Paradoxalmente, pertence a Ray of Light, um dos seus álbuns mais emblemáticos, e também de maior sucesso — acontece que, de facto, apenas surgiu na respectiva edição japonesa.
Agora que está anunciado, para 25 de julho, o lançamento de Veronica Electronica, precisamente com remisturas de Ray of Light, a canção está ausente do alinhamento oficial. Duplica-se o desconhecimento, já que Has to Be existe também nesta magnífica versão de Johnny Madder.
I say a little prayer
How the gods above
Could be so unfair
I know there's someone out there
Waiting for me
There must be someone out there
There just has to be
Go on, go on
Don't sit there like a fool
You've graduated from
A different kind of school
I know there's someone out there
Waiting for me
There must be someone out there
There just has to be
I know there's someone out there
Waiting for me
There must be someone out there
There just has to be
I should be glad that I'm alive
It could have been much worse
I might have never loved at all
And never known what I am worth
How the gods above (how the gods above)
Could be so unfair (could be so unfair, could be so unfair)
I know there's someone out there
Waiting for me
There must be someone out there
There just has to be
I know there's someone out there
Waiting for me
There must be someone out there
There just has to be
