And time is racing by
 I've been way out here for a month or more,
 Tonight I'm wondering why . . .
 You try to understand the things that I feel
 Maybe this time I'll find a way to explain it.

 There is a dream, deep inside my head
 And it may seem like it's breaking the thread
 That holds me to you . . .
 Still you have never wanted to change me
 But darling I know, though we're far apart
 The signal is strong
 This helpless heart will always belong to you . . .
 To you, only to you, no one but you

 This power takes me from the place I belong
 To where only the strong get through
 You got to keep on believing or you lose your way,
 It slips right out of view . . .
 Though there are days the light can flicker and fade
 Here in this place tonight a fire is burning
