It was a long long time
A long long time ago
Met someone very special
Who is not here anymore
And I was greeted with a smile,
And she asked, "Why are you worrying, child?"
You need to go adventure, my dear
"So shall we" I reply
You need to cry a bit
Before you get to smile
Travel a million miles
Before you realize
That what you were looking for
Has been with you all this time
You need to fall a lot
Before you learn to walk
Say lots of silly things
Before you really talk
And sometimes you have to close your eyes
And simply trust your heart
I still remember those old days
Spent out on the porch
We used to closely watch the sky
Catch stars while they fall
These stars are just like us
That's what she loved to say
We have to shine for others
Illuminate their way
You need to cry a bit
Before you get to smile
Travel a million miles
Before you realize
That what you were looking for
Has been with you all this time
You need to fall a lot
Before you learn to walk
Say lots of silly things
Before you really talk
And sometimes you have to close your eyes
And simply trust your heart
And sometimes It can be hard
Life can deal some lousy cards
But one day they knock you out
The next they're shoothing you to Mars
You need to cry a bit
Before you get to smile
Travel a million miles
Before you realize
That what you were looking for
Has been with you all this time
