The world slides past my window, and I see it as a dream
A miracle, a blend of faces flow behind a screen
As the Earth spins slowly by me, I reach out and smile
And I ask it if it wouldn't like to come in for a while

Here inside there's warmth and safety, comfort in the heart
I'm alone but I am smiling; I don't know where you are
And though my heart is bruised it carries on without despair
Because wherever I am, I know that you are there

The distance that grows larger
The air that mutes our sighs
The rain that washes away tears
And the sun that fights the dark

The light shines through the clouds at last, a friend up in the sky
It lays its rays upon my shoulders and tells me not to cry
For I am breathing and I am living my life day by day
No one can take that from me, no matter what they say

I smile alone because I know that I am loved by you
And I hope that, where you are, you are smiling too
A grain of sand that shifts is weightless, surrounded by its own
Though it is not all connected, it will never be alone

The distance that grows larger
The air that mutes our sighs
The rain that washes away tears
And the sun that fights the dark

In the world, from where you're standing to where I'm standing still
We will never be apart, for you have my soul, my heart
And every single vital part of me
You always will
