It's the loneliest of situations   Hard words make a good foundation   And the wall gets taller   More that we don't try      Tears and anger, brick by brick   Two miles wide and too hard to stay   The difference between   How we really feel inside      If you're still listening over there   This is me saying I still care      A kind word from me or you   Just might let a little light shine through   'Cause love's the only thing around   Strong enough to bring it down      Who knows how we got this way   So close yet so far away   I can almost feel you   Reaching out for me      We've gotta work this out together   Or the walls come to stand forever   Hand in hand   But how hard could that be?      If you're still listening over there   This is me saying I still care      A kind word from me or you   Just might let a little light shine through   'Cause love's the only thing around   Strong enough to bring it down      A kind word from me or you   Just might let a little light shine through   'Cause love's the only thing around   Strong enough to bring it down
