Your not alone

Open your mind

Surely its time to be with me

In a way its all a matter of time,
I will not worry for you you'll be just fine
Take my thoughts with you and when you look behind
You will surely see, a face that you recognize

[Chorus]
Your not alone
I'll wait 'till the end of time
Open your mind, surely its plain to see
Your not alone
I'll wait 'till the end of time for you
Open your mind, surely its time to be with me

It is the distance that makes life a little hard
Two minds that once were close now so many miles apart
I will not falter though, I hold on to your hope
Safely back where you belong
And see how our love has grown

[Chorus: x4]
