A Thousand Miles
I would swim the oceans, climb the mountains and
traverse the skies
Tie the universe with ribbons, give it to you as a prize
If it were within my power, but my power’s not so strong
And all the anything I’d do amounts to nothing but a song
I would take each task you give me, bear the daily stress and strain
You’d take me for granted, I would never falter or complain
If my actions make no difference, if my words don’t make a sound
Then I’ll still walk a thousand miles for you, but only round and round
All these promises and I can’t even do what’s asked of me
But I can’t beg you for your love and use my blood as currency
You have always been my guide, so warn me now before I start
That I could walk a thousand miles for you and never reach your heart
What will I say about the sacrifice to which I am resigned?
My love, I’ve walked a thousand miles for you, but only in my mind
