How Far & How Long

Tell me what it is

Tell me what you want to see

And I'll try to be it

I'll try to be that thing

'Cuz your desires are like

Opportunities for me

To help an angel

Tell me what it is

Tell me what you need to hear

I'll find a way to mean it

I'll change the world the way you like

If only anything there was that

I could do

To melt your heart

That is hard for me

How far & how long must I go?

Without a taste of love fulfilled

Not bittersweet

The way I feel when you are near

Is love

And gives me reason to endure

Whatever comes

Tell me what it is

Tell me what your soul is missing

I will summon prophets

And teachers from the past

I won't sleep until you rest

I won't stop to catch my breath

Until you're breathing easy

How far & how long must I go?

Without a taste of love fulfilled

Not bittersweet

The way I feel when you are near

Is love

And gives me reason to endure

Whatever comes

If I may, if I may help--I will

Beside you I have everything I need

To go forward boldly

To face anything at all

And to flower together

More than we ever could alone

How far & how long must I go?

Without a taste of love fulfilled

Not bittersweet

The way I feel when you are near

Is love

And gives me reason to endure

Whatever comes
