Distances
If these are distances between us,
Then let them fade—
Sometimes you walk toward me,
Sometimes I'll find my way.
These are the heartbeats of two souls,
Let one another hear them sing—
Sometimes you listen to mine,
Sometimes I'll listen to yours.
Let kindness meet with tenderness,
Let love be freely shown—
Sometimes you reach for me,
Sometimes I'll reach for you.
The words we've hidden deep inside,
Need not forever stay concealed—
Sometimes you speak your heart,
Sometimes I'll bare my own.
Let only love remain between us,
No room for pride or blame—
Sometimes you bend a little,
Sometimes I'll do the same.
We both are walking toward the same horizon,
Though from different roads we came—
Sometimes you take a step,
Sometimes I'll do the same.
If these are distances between us,
They're only trials of love.
Sometimes you come a little closer,
Sometimes I'll rise above.
