And Tonight – English Lyrics
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
...
