As fleeting time slips by, I feel it deep inside:
Human beings live within the ties where we confide
And yet, when the hour comes to take our final flight
Perhaps we'll stand alone in the quiet night
Every obstacle we meet along the winding way
All the truths we cannot run from or betray
These deep emotions... yes, these feelings we contain
Are what make us human, through the joy and pain
Even if the paths we walk should drift apart
Our souls will still remember deep within the heart
Someday we will truly understand the other's view:
So it is engraved by those who hold it deep and true
Without even realizing where they went astray
People learn the lessons when they slip away
But to change the outcome, to rewrite the plight
No one else can do it—only you can make it right
Accepting every circumstance that comes our way
Finding hidden meaning in the light of day
All of this experience... yes, this grace untold
Is what loving and being loved is made to hold
"May it reach you," whispered with a trusting prayer:
If we learn to pardon those who stumble there
Someday we'll surrender pride and learn to meet halfway:
So it is engraved by those who guard it day by day
Even if the paths we walk should drift apart
Our souls will still remember deep within the heart
Someday we will truly understand the other's view:
So it is engraved by those who hold it deep and true
So it is engraved by those who hold it deep and true
