We are spirits wrapped in bodies that do not last
We are moments over once we have passed
And we pass
I am with you
I can't be where you are but the distance between our hearts is not so far
But I am with you
We are of this earth, we are of the sun
We are powerless to say when and where and how we should return
And we return
I am with you
I can't reach you by land or sea, I can't explain life's cruelty
But I am with you
We are travelers maples underneath the stars
We are simple songs that fade into silence but we return
We return
I am with you
I can't reach you by boat or rail, I can't even send this love through the mail
But I am with you
We are forest fires that rage and then expire
We are answers, we answer every question
We do
I am with you
I can't hold you in my arms, I can't say we are safe from harm
But I am with you
