It's a long way down
it's a gap that's dark and deep
It's a long way
but there's hope for those who leap
It's a long way down
Who can see what lies below?
It's a long way
but there's one thing I know

It's a course we must pursue
and I'll be waiting on the other side for you
You're not alone (X2)

It's a long way down
it's a slope that's slick and steep
It's a long way
can you hold the words you keep?
It's a simple trust
Should I be an optimist?
Is it your lust?
Can you keep your promises?

'Cause sometimes promises don't come true
But I never thought I could not count on you.
Will you live to see this through?
We're not alone (X2)

It's a long way down
I can't see the ground
I'm following the only way I know how
It's a long way down (X2)
I'm broken without these promises

Not alone, we're not alone, are we? (X4)
