Come into the world, little one
open up your eyes
Come into this life, little one
fill it with your cries
Waiting here for you, little one
in every loving caress
A promise is made
and a promise is kept

So What is forever?
And what is always?
A river so long and an ocean so wide?
It's just that whenever
you need someone near you,
someone to love you
we'll be by your side

Things fall apart, little one
and nothing can be done
But heavy is the heart, little one
that beats all alone
When your bridges don't cross over, little one
and your hope is betrayed
This promise will be kept
with the love it was made

So What is forever?
And what is always?
A river so long and an ocean so wide?
It's just that whenever
you need someone near you,
someone to love you
we'll be by your side
