When the child was just a child 00:25

It did not know what it was 00:28

Like a child it had no habits 00:31

No opinion about anything 00:34

Maybe i will get a job 00:37

Get a job as a waitress 00:41

Maybe waiting tables in a diner 00:44

In some remote city down the highway 00:46

After all that we've been through 00:50

I know we'll make it after the wait 00:56

The question is a truth 01:01

There is nothing we can't do 01:03

I'll see you along the way baby 01:08

The stillness is the move 01:13

On top of every mountain 01:28

There was a great longing 01:31

For another even higher mountain 01:34

In each city longing for a bigger city 01:36

After all that we've been through 01:40

I know that i will always love you 01:43

From now until forever baby 01:46

I can't imagine anything better 01:49

After all that we've been through 01:53

I know we'll make it after the wait 01:59

The question is a truth 02:04

There is nothing we can't do 02:05

I'll see you along the way baby 02:12

Isn't life under the sun just a crazy, crazy, crazy dream? 02:20

Isn't life just a mirage of the world before the world, before the world? 02:27

Why am i here and not over, over, over there? 02:33

Where did time begin 02:40

Where does space end 02:41

Where do you and i, where do you and i begin? 02:42

After all that we've been through 03:11

I know we'll make it after the wait 03:17

The question is a truth 03:22

There is nothing we can't do 03:24

I'll see you along the way baby 03:30

The stillness is the move 03:35

After all that we've been through 03:37

I know we'll make it after the wait 03:43

The question is a truth 03:47

There is nothing we can't do 03:49

I'll see you along the way baby 03:55

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

When the child was just a child

It did not know what it was

Like a child it had no habits

No opinion about anything

Maybe i will get a job

Get a job as a waitress

Maybe waiting tables in a diner

In some remote city down the highway

After all that we've been through

I know we'll make it after the wait

The question is a truth

There is nothing we can't do

I'll see you along the way baby

The stillness is the move

On top of every mountain

There was a great longing

For another even higher mountain

In each city longing for a bigger city

After all that we've been through

I know that i will always love you

From now until forever baby

I can't imagine anything better

After all that we've been through

I know we'll make it after the wait

The question is a truth

There is nothing we can't do

I'll see you along the way baby

Isn't life under the sun just a crazy, crazy, crazy dream?

Isn't life just a mirage of the world before the world, before the world?

Why am i here and not over, over, over there?

Where did time begin

Where does space end

Where do you and i, where do you and i begin?

After all that we've been through

I know we'll make it after the wait

The question is a truth

There is nothing we can't do

I'll see you along the way baby

The stillness is the move

After all that we've been through

I know we'll make it after the wait

The question is a truth

There is nothing we can't do

I'll see you along the way baby

The stillness is the move
