let me remind you all again   that there is never any room   for any doubt   i feel it in my heart, i shout it out   and if i decide to change my ways   it's not because i've found the latest craze   it's just that i've got more to lose this time      you know that you can count on one thing   i would never let you down   as crazy as this world may seem   the thing that keeps it spinning `round   is always there   so close and yet so far      and you can believe it's true   a reason behind everything i do   a twist that makes it different every time   there are those who say "it's all been done"   there's nothing stopping us   from having fun   and that's why i'll be coming `round again      you know that you can count on one thing   i would never let you down   as crazy as this world may seem   the thing that keeps it spinning `round   is always there   so close and yet so far...      ...away - but it gets a little closer every day   and i will hold it in my hand before i die   you know there isn't any way that we can lose   and you don't have to be confused   by hollow words that never mean a thing   when tragic things keep happening   to everyone around you   you don't have to be the same   this is the song that begs to set you free   a sparkle in the night   when we come face to face   don't close your eyes   don't ever turn away      because the only way you'll ever know   is if you ever really try   so find out for yourself   then you won't ever have to wonder why   as crazy as this world may seem   the thing that keeps it spinning `round   is you because you're always there   so close and yet so far      always spinning around   you're always there - so close and yet so far   always there so far
