Closer to me,
I'm tired and 
I'm weak.Every breath within me
Is longing just to be,
Closer to 
You,So I face the road ahead,
Cos I know there's no comparing
To what's waiting at the end.
Let the rain start falling where it will.
I will run through this valley just to climb to that hill.
If the ask why 
I'm smiling after all 
I've been through,
It's cos I'm just a day closer to you.
Closer to me,
I hear you whisper on the wind.
You say although my life is fading,
A new one will begin.
Closer to 
You,And I know 
I'm not alone,
Cos I can hear you in the distance,
Saying, "
You are nearly home."
Let the rain start falling where it will.
I will run through this valley, just to climb to that hill.
If they ask why 
I'm dancing though my days may be few.
It's cos I'm just a day closer to 
You.Closer to me,
You're in the laughter and the tears
Of the ones 
I leave behind me
Who have prayed me through the years.
Closer to 
You,And I know it won't be long
Til You're running down the pathway,
Just to take me in 
Your arms.
Let the rain start falling where it will.
I will run through this valley just to climb to that hill.
If they ask why 
I'm singing though my life's almost through.
It's cos I'm just a day closer.
I'm just a day closer
I'm just a day closer to 
You.
