Lyrics
There’s a leafless tree in Asia
Under the sun there’s a homeless man
There’s a forest fire in the valley
Where the story all began
What will be our last thought?
Do you think it’s coming soon?
Will it be a comfort
Or the pain of a burning wound?
All we are trying to say
Is we are all we’ve got
You and me just cannot fail
If we never, never stop
You’re an ocean full of faces
And you know that we believe
We’re just a wave that drifts around you
Singing all our hopes and dreams
We look around in wonder
At the work that has been done
By the visions of our father
Touched by his loving son
All we are trying to say
Is we are all we’ve got
You and me just cannot fail
If we never, never stop
All we are trying to say
Is we are all we’ve got
You and me just cannot fail
If we never, never stop
You and me just cannot fail
If we never, ever, never, ever stop…
