Out Here

How come I feel this sudden urge to sing?
How can I bring happiness to you?
How do I embrace liberty and take wing?
How can I love you oh so true?

I can go the distance
I'm seeking reverence
Out here on my own
Out here, content without fear...all alone...
Out here on my own
Out here, my dear, till I'm gone

I hope you can find me
I wish you can clearly see
That life out here is so much better when you sing
That life out there is dangerous with its tragic sting

I can go the distance
I'm seeking reverence
Out here on my own
Out here, content without fear...all alone...
Out here on my own
Out here, my dear, till I'm gone

Till I move on forward...
Never going backward...

On and on, I travel these mountains of elegance
I welcome the sun with its amazing radiance
How come you can't find your way to a secret place?
How do you keep pace on this difficult, rapid race?

I can go the distance
I'm seeking reverence
Out here on my own
Out here, content without fear...all alone...
Out here on my own
Out here, my dear, till I'm gone
I can go the distance
I'm seeking reverence
Out here on my own
Out here, content without fear...all alone...
Out here on my own
Out here, my dear, till I move on...
Till the day is almost done
Till I see the shining sun
Till I see the darkness gone
I'll be moving on and on and on

I can go the distance
I'm seeking reverence
Out here on my own
Out here, content without fear...all alone...
Out here on my own
Out here, my dear, till I'm gone

Till I move on out here
I won't shed no tear
I will not live in fear
My heart will be full of cheer
When I'm done here...when I'm out here...
Out there, there is danger
I was always meant to be a singer
Things get a lot more stranger
The darkness fades and the light will linger
Around me...around me...
Out here...in the midst of the sea...

I can go the distance
I'm seeking reverence
Out here on my own
Out here, content without fear...all alone...
Out here on my own
Out here, my dear, till I'm gone
Out here on my own...
Out here without a backbone
All along, all alone...alone...
Out here with mere cheer
I will have nothing to fear
For, God is drawing near
