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
