Who knows what tomorrow brings In a world where few hearts survive All I know is the way I feel When its real I leep it alive The road is long there are mountains in the way
Love lift us up where we belong Where the eagles fly on a mountan high Love lift us up where we belong Far from the world below Where the clear winds blow
Some hang on to usued to be Live there life looking behind All we have is here and now All our lives out there to find The road is long and there are mountains in my way But we climb the stairs everyday
