Looking up the sleeve of confidence
I jump down from the fence
Been a long time since I've felt this way
Let the feeling stay
Reaching for the arms of love
Living, dreaming, thinking of
The moment I slip on the glove
My fear is gone
The grain of hope has grown
And I'll be running, laughing, playing
In the sweet green fields of belonging to someone
Staring at the face of happiness
This time it answers "Yes"
In aging peace my doubts will rest away
Let the feeling stay
Looking through the eyes of truth
I see faith and love and youth
And all else die like the dew
My fear is gone
The grain of hope has grown
And I'll be running, laughing, playing
In the sweet green fields of belonging to someone
Yes, I'll be running, laughing, playing
In the sweet green fields of belonging to someone
The distant feeling's gone
And I can make it from now on
My world is something new
It's all because of you
The green fields growing in my life will never die
Looking up the sleeve of confidence
I jump down from the fence
Been a long time since I've felt this way
Let the feeling stay
Walking up the road of togetherness
This time I must confess
This day's the very best
My fear is gone
The grain of hope has grown
And I'll be running, laughing, playing
In the sweet green fields of belonging to someone
I'll be running, laughing, playing
In the sweet green fields of belonging to someone
I'll be running, laughing, playing
In the sweet green fields of belonging to someone
