I have heard so many stories
Spreading all over the world
I have heard so many glories
All of them claiming the pearl
Close together, still so far apart
Promises we all have made
From the cradle back to our grave
Asking why, a waste of our time
That's the way it goes never mind
Close together, still so far apart
So much praying, who knows what will come
Holy curtain, cover what we've done
