lyrics
Above the mountain tops,
Beyond the endless sea,
Is there a place for us to
Be?
When all the wall's stripped bare,
We see the hidden fear.
When things seem so unfair,
When things become so clear.
My Vision runs so cold,
Everyone selling me
The perfect way to see.
Look deep into my soul.
Searching for integrity,
A touch of dignity,
Who's around to see
Or care…but
The World is teeming with life.
My world is sighing.
The World is teeming with Life,
With love abiding
We cross the inner streams
With Intersecting ways.
Is there a way to set us free?
Will we get to breathe
The cleansing atmosphere?
Must we always grieve
For what has come so dear?
My heart worn on my sleeve,
Is there identity
Among the uncertainties?
Forever on this road.
Can we free the past,
Can we free the past
Free the past to leave?
'Cause.....
The World is teeming with life.
My world is sighing.
The World is teeming with Life
With Love abiding.
