I admire you from afar
you've changed the way i see
i used to think that i
should make you be like me
but after this short time
watching what you do
i realise that i
should strive to be like you
whenever i am near you
i tread so awkwardly
afraid someone may steal you
i guard you jealously
Then sing the world your praises
let everybody know
that i just saw the future
a place i want to go
I admire you from afar
you've changed the way i see
i used to think that i
should make you be like me
but after this short time
watching what you do
i realise that i
should strive to be like you
I hear you when you're talking
untouched simplicity
alive with expectations
in search of what might be
