Can I come near you?
Would I be getting in your way?
Can I come near you?
I don't have very much to say
But when I am near you
All of my troubles disappear
Only to hear you
For every song that you sing
Is a road, is a wing, is a story
And with my heart opened so
I forget for a moment to worry
When I am near you
You know I am changing
And what was trouble now is freed
You know I am changing
There's so much courage that I need
To understand it
And hold the fire in my hands
Now I have landed
Learning to build from the start
With a trembling heart never sour
And then I learn to contain
All the hurt and the pain like a flower
Hour by hour
Like when I am near you
And I imagine
That I am near you
