Lyrics

Show me a promised land, and I will go anywhere

And if you ask me to take my time I'll wait for years

I'll hold on, though the whole world tells me I'm wrong

Someday, someday

But it seems so long

Ask me to prove my love and I will do anything

So if they turn off the light of the sun, why should I care?

I'll hold on, though the whole world tells me I'm wrong

Then in the morning as you leave me

You touch my hand to show how much you care

But just when I need you

You won't be there

Oh, I'll hold on, but I need a shoulder to lean on

Why if you love me, must you leave me?

Why are you going anywhere?

Why must our love be something in the air?

Cause just when I need you

You won't be there

You won't be there
