City Lights - Previously Unreleased

Lyrics

I want to grab a stranger's hand and
 Hold it as tightly as I can and
 I will tell by their reaction if
 They're like me or if I am crazy
 When the lights of the city hit my
 Eyes on the plane looking out the window
 I am consumed by a comforting notion
 That you are there and
 I am welcome
 If our miles have added up to
 A giant pile of distance that we
 Cannot reach past, climb, or conquer
 Will you dig a
 Tunnel to me?
 Every move suspends an action
 Any attempt to engage will push away
 What you want becomes a magnet
 Opposing pulls
 Never meeting
 Can you combine a friend and mother?
 Can you blend a dad and brother?
 Must we have to pick one or the other?
 Will we know this or always wonder?
 (Always wonder)
 You can tell what you've done to me
 To be seen in hell from your place in a tree
 Always helping
 Ever loving
 But will you always
 Be above me
 I won't ignore nor will not forget
 The kindness that's been done to me
 You are the surest and safest bet that
 I could ask for
 So I'm asking
 Soon we will be side by side the
 Plane will land and the wings will glide
 The bags in hand and
 The car will drive
 Into you
 I will arrive
 By your side
 By your side
