[Verse]
How many miles to the heart of a child?
Thousands of miles, thousands of miles
When he lay on your breast, he looked up and smiled
Across tens of thousands, thousands of miles

[Pre-Chorus]
Each lives alone in a world of dark
Crossing the skies in a lonely arc
Save when love leaps out like a leaping spark
Over thousands, thousands of miles

[Chorus]
Not miles or walls or length of days
Nor the cold doubt of midnight can hold us apart
For swifter than wings of the morning
The pathways of the heart

[Pre-Chorus]
The lines on the map stretch far and thin
To the streets and days that close him in
But then as of old he turns 'round to grin
Over thousands, thousands of miles

[Chorus]
Not miles or walls or length of days
Nor the cold doubt of midnight can hold us apart
For swifter than wings of the morning
The pathways of the heart
Over tens of thousands of miles
