    5. All Over Again

      You have traveled so far and you finally are where you belong.
      You've braved mountains and valleys just to reach me, now they tell us you don't belong.

      They say you staying is wrong, the side you were born on makes you unwelcome here.
      They have made you a stranger in a strange land, but your heart leads you on without fear.
      Just when you begin to let go and my love makes you feel at home in this world.
      All we've done to be close, they tear apart and we start ...

        All over     All over     All over again
        All over     All over     All over again
        All over     All over     All over again
        All over     All over     All over again

      You had to run and I've come undone since you've been gone.
      I braved mountains and valleys trying to find you but you were long gone.

      They say it's better this way. That we shouldn't have tried.
      But I feel like a stranger in my own land without you by my side.
      Just when I begin to lose faith your love makes me feel there's hope in this world.
      All that we have done makes us closer, they can't tear us apart

        All over     All over     All over again
        All over     All over     All over again
        All over     All over     All over again
        All over     All over     All over again

      If we ever start to lose hope our faith will find love a way in this world, all that we have done
      is not lost, though we're apart.

      We will start

        All over     All over     All over again
        All over     All over     All over again
        All over     All over     All over again
        All over     All over     All over again
