ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX.
IT'S SAD THAT AIR IS THE ONLY THING WE SHARE,
NO MATTER HOW CLOSE WE ARE THERE'S ALWAYS AIR BETWEEN US.
IT'S ALSO NICE THAT AIR'S SOMETHING WE ALL SHARE,
NO MATTER HOW FAR APART WE ARE AN AIR LINKS US.
IT'S SAD THAT PAST IS SOMETHING WE CAN NEVER SHARE,
NO MATTER HOW CLOSE WE ARE THE PAST IS BETWEEN US.
BUT IT'S ALSO NICE THAT WITHOUT THE PAST
WE'D HAVE NEVER KNOWN EACH OTHER,
NO MATTER HOW FAR APART WE ARE IT BROUGHT US TOGETHER.
YES, IT'S VERY NICE TO HAVE SOMEONE TO SHARE,
THERE'S SOMETHING VERY NICE TO HAVE SOMEONE TO CARE.
WE MAY NOT SHARE OUR PAST BUT WE HAVE OUR FUTURE TO SHARE.
IT'S SAD THAT LIFE IS SUCH A HEAVY THING TO BEAR,
NO MATTER HOW CLOSE WE ARE IT'S EASY TO DESPAIR.
IT'S ALSO NICE THAT YOU AND I KNOW IT'S WHAT WE ALL SHARE,
NO MATTER HOW FAR APART WE ARE WE CAN LEARN TO CARE.
THERE'S SOMETHING VERY NICE TO HAVE SOMETHING TO SHARE,
THERE'S SOMETHING VERY NICE TO HAVE SOMEONE TO CARE.
WE MAY NOT SHARE OUR BODIES BUT WE HAVE OUR MINDS TO SHARE.
YES, THERE'S SOMETHING VERY NICE TO HAVE SOMETHING TO CARE,
THERE'S SOMETHING VERY NICE TO HAVE SOMEONE TO SHARE.
WE MAY NOT SHARE OUR LANGUAGE BUT WE HAVE THE WORLD TO SHARE.
