I told my...
Shoot my... from the floor
You wished you was sleeping
As I stood at the door
Once more is here
God only knows where
That's what it hit me
I was already there
Chorus:
I... thousand miles and more
Never find a... I've seen you arise me for
Give me the freedom to go my whole way
But she gave me much more
You gave me the freedom to stay
Walk it on room
You're too... wish on star
Searching for heaven
Well I know where you are
Laugh is just empty when you walk alone
So river where going girl
Lord is good to be hold
Chorus:
I... thousand miles and more
Never find a... I've seen you arise me for
Give me the freedom to go my whole way
But she gave me much more
