She got the call today One out of the gray And when the smoke cleared It took her breath away She said she didn't believe It could happen to me I guess we're all one phone call From our knees We're gonna get there soon If every building falls And all the stars fade We'll still be singing this song The one they can't take away I'm gonna get there soon She's gonna be there too Cryin' in her room Prayin' Lord come through We're gonna get there soon Oh it's your life Oh it's your way Pull me out of the dark Just to show me the way Cryin out now From so far away You pull me closer to love Closer to love Meet me once again Down off Lake Michigan Where we could feel the storm blowing Down with the wind And don't apologize For all the tears you've cried You've been way too strong now for all your life I'm gonna get there soon You're gonna be there too Cryin' in your room Prayin' Lord come through We're gonna get there soon Oh it's your life Oh it's your way Pull me out of the dark Just to show me the way Cryin out now From so far away You pull me closer to love Closer to love Cause you are all that I've waited for All of my life (We're gonna get there) You are all that I've waited for All of my life You pull me closer to love Closer to love Pull me closer to love You pull me closer to love Closer to love oh no Closer to love Closer to love Pull me closer to love
