The world is full of wonders
It's never far away
It's right before your eyes
Every single day

I've been searching a long time
Someone exactly like you

I've been traveling all around the world
Waiting for you to come through


I've been travelin' a hard road
Baby, lookin' for someone exactly like you

I've been carryin' my heavy load
Waiting for the light to come shining through

Fate stumbles in
Bringing light to the darkness
Oh, what a friend

But I know I love you
And that may be all I need to know

Bob Dylan

My only prayer is, if I can't be there,
Lord, protect my child

She's young and on fire
Full of hope and desire
In a world that's been raped and defiled


If I fall along the way
And can't see another day
Lord, protect my child
