Your pain will be gone...
  You will always be the one...
                 You will never be alone...
                                                     you will never be alone... 
                                                                                                         you will never be alone...  
                                                                                                                                                                                                  you will never be alone...
I am astounded by its beauty,
Its peacefulness, its providence,
And its promise of perfection
I am floating,
Floating in a paradise no longer lost
Revealing all, concealing nothing from thy view
          How could we not have known?
          Why were we not shown?
          How could we have forgotten?
I am floating...
Floating through Eden
Floating in a heaven.
But there's no one here.
