lyrics

I followed a bird, and it led me to pastures new
And it showed me the sky was blue, when all I could see was grey
I danced with the wind, and it carried me so high I flew
And it gave me another view - one I had never seen

People say that things don't change and life gets in the way

The sun will still come up and I will still be beside you
And the world will keep turning no matter what you choose to do
And whatever the weather we'll work out together what's true
I promise you

I walked on the earth, and it told me to run far away
To keep going until yesterday was out of my mind
I made a deal with the sea, and I asked it to carry me
Far beyond all those peaks I could see - beyond what was mine

I know you think that things don't change, and life gets in the way

But the sun will still come up and I will still be beside you
And the world will keep turning, no matter what you choose to do
And whatever the weather we'll work out together what's true
I promise you
I promise you
I promise you
