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
