I admire you from afar 

You've changed the way I see 

I used to think that I 

Should make you be like me 

But after this short time 

Watching what you do 

I realise that I 

Should strive to be like you 

Whenever I am near you 

I tread so awkwardly 

Afraid someone may steal you 

I guard you jealously 



Then sing the world your praises 

Let everybody know 

That I just saw the future 

A place I want to go 



I admire you from afar 

You've changed the way I see 

I used to think that I 

Should make you be like me 

But after this short time 

Watching what you do 

I realise that I 

Should strive to be like you 



I hear you when you're talking 

Untouched simplicity 

Alive with expectations 

In search of what might be 



I admire you from afar 

You've changed the way I see 

I used to think that I 

Should make you be like me 

But after this short time 

Watching what you do 

I realise that I

Then sing the world your praises 

Let everybody know 

That I just saw the future 

A place I want to go 



I hear you when you're talking 

Untouched simplicity 

Alive with expectations
