Nearer To You

Look at me.
I’ve climbed a tree
Just to see
Your mystery.
There’s not much I wouldn’t do
Just to be nearer to you…
Nearer to you…

From where I stand
Above the land
Everything I may have planned
Falls at your command.
It is fate, our rendezvous.
I must be nearer to you…
Nearer to you…

Do not forget. Let us review.
I must be nearer to you…
Nearer to you…

Call me out,
Whisper or shout.
You are what my life’s about
There’s not a single doubt.
It’s by your love I am made new.
I must be nearer to you…
Nearer to you…

Do not forget. Let us review.
I must be nearer to you…
Nearer to you…

Thank you. It's actually the story of Zacchaeus.
