20 some years is a long walk

even if it's not in a straight line

you see a lot of things in the distance

y'know what they say about great minds

you and I think about the same things

dream the same dreams play the same games

we started out in the same place,

believe it or not we've got the same names.

Everything happens for a good cause

whether it be victory or loss

and the road may turn into a runway

but you don't know what to do someday

trust me I've seen it all before

I've climbed to the tops of the tallest trees

to get away from the deep water

to find a touch of the smallest breeze

go find the girl with a low voice

who holds the world in her bare hands

you'll fall in love, you'll have no choice

once you are given a fair chance.

For the first time you will sleep well

take a deep breath, see the sun shine

hold on to her for dear life

and then watch the whole world unwind.

Ask her to show you some magic

and I guarantee that she'll say yes

tell her that "you've seen forever

and we will be together not a day less."

Just know until that time comes

and after you've crossed that first mile

that the hardest part is behind you

and all of the pain only worth while.

From storm clouds come angels

let pain give you pleasure

from dirt grows the flower

when faith can't be measured.
