Lying awake
I look out my window
Wondering to myself

If this madness will ever seize
Oh but I see a light
I see a crack of hope
And I close my eyes

They can't tear this love apart
Though they try
Should we believe in the things they say?

Oh, but how would they know
'Cause in another time another place
It might have been so different

Oh, we set aside the world
We'll laugh, we'll show them all
If we can float across the stream
Just smile and float across the stream
We'll see it all pass us by

You know what?
They don't know
'Cause in another time, in another time, another place
It might have been so different
Oh, but here we are
And here we'll stay
We'll set aside the world

We can float across the stream
We can float across the stream
Find the path we want
I know we will, I know we will
Find the path we want
Reach across the hill and
Reach across the hill

We gonna go believe me we gonna go
We gonna make it
We gonna make it
'Cause nothing can stop us now
No, no, nothing can stop us now

We gonna make it
Yes, we gonna make it, girl

Because nothing can come between us
Not now, nothing can come between us
We try so hard
We can do it
We can do it
We can do it if we want
We can do it, girl
We can do it
We're gonna cross the stream
Find the path we want

Lying awake
I look out my window
Wondering to myself
Will this madness ever seize

Oh, but I see a light
I see a crack of hope
And I close my eyes
I close my eyes
Nothing can come between us now
We close our eyes
Close our eyes
