Light Years - Robert Palmer

I’m looking down from a precipice

I hear a roar from behind

The whole world’s pushing

To let them pass

I think they’d best wait in line

I’m in the eye of a hurricane

I wait for mountains to fall

The world comes thundering down again

But nothing gets through these walls

I’ve waited light years for this moment

I’ve waited light years for you

I’m out there watching the sun come up

And I’ve got nowhere to hide

The world keeps on pushing

Just to get a look

But I’m not stepping aside

Forces have met to bring me here to you

Nothing on earth can keep me from the truth

Now the eternal flame at last burns bright again

The wait was not in vain

Now that I’ve found you

The storm is raging around us all

A shelter forms in my mind

The world keeps pushing upon my door

But I won’t let them inside
