Sometimes life can seem so cold, y'know, and love can seem so cruel
and these are not the sort of things that they taught me about in school,
so now I'm free to roam the wild world
--only God knows what I'll find--
but if I'm lucky, then you'll save me just in time...

I've done a lot of inner growing
and my outlook sure has changed.
There's always somethin' new
to think about
'cause nothin' stays the same.
And I'm a young man on a mission
or a fool without a clue.
The only thing I know I really want
is you.

You are the glimmer on the water,
treasure buried on the shore.
You are the one who brings me laughter
--what else do you have in store?
'cause when I look at you I wonder
who you really are inside,
and then I blush
when you gaze back at me with pride.

I always hoped that I was special, never knowing it was true .
I never thought that I could be the guy
who's good enough for you.
And now I'm walking on the water
and my head is in the sky.
All I had to do was listen to my heart and then just try.

You are the starlight in my night sky,
a shining beacon in my storm.
What made you finally choose
the nice guy when someone else
kept your heart warm?
'cause when I look at you I wonder
what you see inside my eyes,
and now we're in this thing together and it's still a big surprise.

Take my hand now and walk with me
--you've already got my heart.
We'll take on everything together.
We will never be apart.
'cause we're free to roam the wild world
--only God knows what we'll find...
learning love can be the first step
on the journey of a lifetime.
