("Wherever You Will Go" by The Calling)

♪ So lately been wondering ♪

♪ Who will be there to take my place ♪

♪ When I'm gone you'll need love ♪

♪ To light the shadows on your face ♪

♪ If a great wave shall fall ♪

♪ And fall upon us all ♪

♪ Then between the sand and stone ♪

♪ Could you make it on your own ♪

♪ If I could then I would ♪

♪ I'll go wherever you will go ♪

♪ Way up high or down low ♪

♪ I'll go wherever you will go ♪

♪ And maybe I'll find out ♪

♪ A way to make it back someday ♪

♪ To watch you to guide you ♪

♪ Through the darkest of your days ♪

♪ If a great wave shall fall ♪

♪ And fall upon us all ♪

♪ Well then I hope there's someone out there ♪

♪ Who can bring me back to you ♪

♪ If I could then I would ♪

♪ I'll go wherever you will go ♪

♪ Way up high or down low ♪

♪ I'll go wherever you will go ♪

♪ Run away with my heart ♪

♪ Run away with my hope ♪

♪ Run away with my love ♪

♪ I know now just quite how ♪

♪ My life and love might still go on ♪

♪ In your heart in your mind ♪

♪ I'll stay with you for all of time ♪

♪ If I could then I would ♪

♪ I'll go wherever you will go ♪

♪ Way up high or down low ♪

♪ I'll go wherever you will go ♪
