Lyrics : Forwards Album Version
Dream out loud if you want to stay alive
May the spirits be your guide in the afterlife
One day the doors will open wide
Like the stream that flows out into the tide
Love will survive for the returning, back to life
Love will survive, love will endure for the returning
Oh oh oh
All the walls are closing in now the world is different
If you want to stay alive you’ve got to go the distance
We have all lost track of the days,
But none of this shall be in vain
Love will survive for the returning, back to life
Love will survive, love will endure for the returning
For the returning
Say we’ll be together on the other side of the wall
For the returning
The returning
Love, love will survive for the returning, back to life
Love will survive, love will endure for the returning
For the returning
Say well be together
Back to life
For the returning
Back to life
