Where do we go from here?
There's no where else for me.
No where else can I watch the stars at
night or go swimming in the sea.
Where else can I wander through forests
and hear birds twittering in the trees?
No, there's no other place in the universe,
no other place for me but here.
Where do we go from here?
There's no where else for me.
No where else can I feel the summer
warmth or romp in the falling leaves.
Nature transforms, seasons change,
life begins anew and hope runs deep.
No, there's no other place in the universe,
no other place for me but here.
Where do we go from here?
There's no where else for me.
Where else do children's faces smile
as they happily walk by me?
To feel the sun, the rain, the snow,
hear the wind blowing through the trees.
No, there's no other place in the universe,
no other place for me but here.
Where do we go from here?
There's no where else for me.
No other home could be as grand;
no other place as free.
Nowhere else could I walk the meadows,
shores or mountains.
So you see, there's no other place in the universe,
no where else that I'd rather be but here.
