Lyrics
I'm alone
I can see
all the people
that I love
and who love me
I'm alone
I can feel
all the people
who pretend
and who are real
Deep within
Running free
all the rivers
flow to the sea
There are rapids
there are streams
there are waters running dry
there are dreams
It is dark
it is cold
Lord please don't
ever let
this child's heart grow old
It is time
it is space
it's the loneliness
of this place
Deep within
Running free
all the rivers
flow to the sea
There are rapids
there are streams
there are waters running dry
there are dreams
I'm alone
I can see
all the people
that I love
and who love
It is dark
It is cold
Lord please don't
ever let
this child's heart grow old
Lord please don't
ever let
this child's heart grow old
