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 ... I hear you when you're talking Untouched simplicity Alive with expectations In search of what might be I admire you from afar ... Then sing the world your praises ... I hear you when you're talking ... Then sing the world your praises ... I hear you when you're talking ... Then sing the world your praises ...
