Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Everybody wants to find a way
Everybody needs to know
there's a reason we can trade our pain
and replace it with a rush of hope
Everybody with a weary heart
can fall and rise again from grace
And when we're searching for a place to start
the broken still can say
You're not far away
You're not far away
Every moment you're a mystery
a miracle that makes me wonder
Everybody has enough to bear
and everyone feels the strain
There's a lot that really isn't fair
but it isn't more than you can take
Everybody needs a hand to hold
to have a reason not to break
Everybody with a heavy load
rest is on its way
You're not far away
You're not far away
Closer now, like a song in me
You're everything I need to know
You're not far away
You're not far away
You're alive in every word I sing
You're a miracle that makes me wonder
