I Can Hear Them Now

I was just a shy boy from the other side of town
You were sent from up above to make me turn around
Will I need a miracle to make me look my way?
Or take the loneliness of living one more day

I need you, I feel you
Calling through my heart
I wait for the line to break
So I can hold you in my arms

But I can't touch you
And break through to the other side
Don't even know I'm alive

Every night I say a prayer
For those of us who care
That it's all been a bad dream
We've got years and years of time

(I can hear them now)
I was just a shy boy
(I can hear them now)
I can hear the angels crying
(I can hear them now)
As they tell the story
With tears in their eyes
(I can hear them now)
I was just a shy boy
(I can hear them now)
I can hear the angels crying
(I can hear them now)
As they tell the story
With tears in their eyes

But I can't touch you
And break through to the other side
Don't even know I'm alive

(I can hear them now)
I was just a shy boy
(I can hear them now)
I can hear the angels crying
(I can hear them now)
As they tell the story
With tears in their eyes
(I can hear them now)
I was just a shy boy
(I can hear them now)
I can hear the angels crying
(I can hear them now)
As they tell the story
With tears in their eyes

I can't touch you
Can't break through to the other side
Don't even know I'm alive
Don't even know I'm alive
