The distance between us is no longer defined by kilometers or miles,
The oceans don't keep us apart.
Physically we are right by each other, but I've never felt further from you than now.

What is it that separates us so much?
What is it that makes this so hard?
Now we re not continents apart, yet opposite me you still don't understand.

How can I show you what I have seen,
How will you experience what I felt.
There is so much I want to share with you
And so much you don't comprehend.

Our experiences have brought us to this point,
They have shaped who we are now.
Between you and I, the difference is so vast
and that gap has only grown.

I do not think I can show you
The world as I see it now.
I don't think I can help you understand
Why I feel the way I feel
And why I act the way I act.
My experiences have brought me here,
And your experiences have brought you there.

I look across this chasm with grief,
Saddened we have no bridge.
This rift of misunderstanding will continue to grow
We may never understand each other again.

I think I lost you,
Your free spirit has gone.
We might still be wandering
but your zeal is fading.

I think you are afraid.
Afraid of those you once knew.
Let me tell you, gypsy friend
It's they who should be afraid of you.

Do not let yourself be swallowed by fear,
Don't hide behind the norm.
The soul who once was so alive
Is still there, deep inside.

So dig deep to find her,
Dig deep to find that light.
Dig deep and hunt for the essence of you
Because your spirit will stand tall and fight.
Once again we will run wild my friend
we will breathe the essence of life.

We will fly,
We will swim.
We will love and we will dream.

Reach deep to find what you have lost
And you will never loose it again.
