From across two countries, across the room,
	from “might happen someday” to “happening soon”,
from easy beginnings to where we are now,
	I hear you call, and I answer somehow.

From the shadowed valley to the top of the hill,
	from “maybe we should” to “yes, we will”,
through it all, I think that you knew:
	I hear you call, and I call back to you.

From letters that are written to letters that are read;
	from words that are thought to words that are said.
From things that have ended to things just begun,
	I hear you call, and you know that I come.

From the sometimes cruel world to the sometimes cruel heart;
	from the sometimes cruel endings to a brand new start.
Across the worlds, both old and new,
	I hear you call, and I call back to you.
