Footsteps,
I can hear footsteps in the hall
I hear footsteps,
Seems like i've been through this before
Some time has come now
Some time has passed
But things still look the same
Is heaven all above
And the questions still remain
Can we see you?
Are we near you?
How could you disappear out of here?
I wish for something-
I wish you were here
Footsteps,
I can hear footsteps in the hall
I hear footsteps,
It seems like i've been through this before
Well we loved you then,
I guess we always will
We love you still from here
Birds of a feather always stay together,
And never separate,
No fear.
Footsteps,
I can hear footsteps in the hall
I hear footsteps,
Seems like i've been through this before
If all the world was turning
Blue and gold,
Like through your eyes so clear,
The time has come to celebrate our past
And crystalize this sphere.
Can we see you?
Are we near you?
How can you disappear out of here?
I wish for something
Can we see you?
Are we near you?
How can you disappear out of here?
I wish for something
There will come a day,
Oh some day or day will come,
Our day will come, our day will come
