The door is open to go through If I could I would come, too But the path is made by you As you're walking start singing and stop talking Oh, if I could hear myself when I say (Oh love) love is bigger than anything in its way So young to be the words of your own song I know the rage in you is strong Write a world where we can belong To each other and sing it like no other Oh, if I could hear myself when I say (Oh love) love is bigger than anything in its way If the moonlight caught you crying on Killiney Bay Oh, sing your song Let your song be sung If you listen you can hear the silence say "When you think you're done You've just begun" Love is bigger than anything in its way Love is bigger than anything in its way Love is bigger than anything in its way
