I've run a long way to see 00:20

The rain a-falling 00:26

I've climbed up every tree 00:31

To hear you calling 00:37

And tonight I know there's no stone we can't move 00:43

And tonight I feel there's not much left to prove 00:54

I've come a long way to sing 01:06

Despite my ad-libbing 01:24

I hope you're listening 01:30

I hope you hear me 01:36

And tonight I know there's no shore we can't reach 01:42

And tonight I feel there are no more lessons to teach 01:53

For tomorrow may bring those uncertainties 02:05

The fear's alive but it can't reach me 02:17

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I've run a long way to see

The rain a-falling

I've climbed up every tree

To hear you calling

And tonight I know there's no stone we can't move

And tonight I feel there's not much left to prove

I've come a long way to sing

Despite my ad-libbing

I hope you're listening

I hope you hear me

And tonight I know there's no shore we can't reach

And tonight I feel there are no more lessons to teach

For tomorrow may bring those uncertainties

The fear's alive but it can't reach me
