I thought that the world was something I held in my hand.
The stars were my view of the heavens,
the ocean was mine to set sail on.
When the rain fell, danced in its drops
When the moon rose on the mountains
On the other side of my world
I dreamed that there was some
little child just like me
We may be as different as day and night
But we will meet all right
and put our worlds together
I put all my dreaming aside
Paradise vanished for pleasure
I never walked in the raindrops
I had my life on this side of the world,
and you had your life on the other
Sometimes I'd wake from my sleep,
and I would remember my promise
On the other side of my world,
grown -up child just like me
We might be as different as day and night,
and put our worlds together, together.
Suddenly now, you hold out your hand,
and in it I see my own heaven.
My world and yours are as one
I never knew I was dreaming
and we'll walk in the sun
We live in one world at last
I am so glad that I've found you
On the other side of my world,
I am that grown -up child just like you
We might be as different as day and night,
but we would meet alright
And put our worlds together
