lyrics

A Thousand Years
-------------------------
If you have to climb the mountain you won't be alone,
I will walk the path with you and we will share the stone,
And when the walls are closing in and you can't see the light,
I will sweep the webs away that wrap around your life.

This one takes a tumble out of me,
This one takes a tumble, as far as I can see.
We've lived a thousand years today,
You know we'll find a way to get through,
We've lived a thousand years today,
You know that I will always love you,
That's all I want to say.

If the world is falling out and nothing much makes sense,
You're spinning in the palm of God or sitting on the fence,
If no one seems to hear you talk and no one hears you cry,
You know that I am listening and I will always try.

This one takes a tumble out of me,
This one takes a tumble, as far as I can see.
We've lived a thousand years today,
You know we'll find a way to get through,
We've lived a thousand years today,
You know that I will always love you,
That's all I want to say.
