The time goes on
and the going goes slow
But you can trust in me
I understand, I know

We all need love from far away
We all need someone who once went away
They may have left us
But in our hearts they stay
We need the help
of people from another day

The future holds so many possibilities
if we work as one
how good it will be
Because don't you see
we are all working
towards eternity

Don't try to tell me
you have better things to do
Because of the last day
we'll turn and point at you
As we all look at the wonders we did
We'll smile because of the happiness
of our kids

We all need love from far away
We all need someone who once went away
They may have left us
But in our hearts they stay
We need the help
of people from another day
