[Verse 1] They told me heaven's what you make it, painted by the ones we love So I built mine from your canvas, every brushstroke from above Purple trees and golden rivers, skies you dreamed in shades of blue But what's a paradise worth living... if I'm living it without you? [Verse 2] They said some souls fall into shadow, where no light has ever been They said the lost can't hear you calling, said that no one goes back in But they don't know what we are made of, they don't know the vow I gave Love that's real don't stop at heaven... and it don't stop at the grave [Chorus] So I will walk through fire to find you, cross the ocean of the lost I will trade my heaven for your darkness, I don't care what it costs They can tell me it's impossible, that no one's ever come that far But distance means so little... when where you are, I am (Where you are, I am) [Verse 3] I found you sitting in the ruins of the home we used to share You didn't know my face, my darling, but I knew that you were there And if I can't pull you from the shadows, if the dark won't set you free Then I'm not leaving, I'll stay beside you... let the darkness fall on me [Bridge – quiet, almost broken, then building] 'Cause I would rather be lost with you Than found in paradise alone One soul... two halves... Wherever you are is home (building, choir enters) And they say that's when the light broke Not from heaven up above It was never about the rescue... It was always about the love [Final Chorus – full orchestra, soaring vocals] Yes, I walked through fire to find you, crossed the ocean of the lost And I traded all my heaven, and your love was worth the cost Now they tell the impossible story, of two souls who came so far 'Cause distance means so little... when where you are, I am [Outro – piano and sax, gentle] And if we get another lifetime I will find you once again I'd know you in a thousand faces... Where you are, I am (Where you are... I am...) [Soft orchestral fade]
