[00:24.124]I’m half a world away from you
[00:29.999]I’m half a world away
[00:32.238]Where we’re apart
[00:36.516]Africa and the bush
[00:38.480]Take you far
[00:41.844]The lens, the story, the picture
[00:44.636]Is your call
[00:46.603]
[00:48.845]If I could hold you for a while
[00:51.367]If I could would you stay mine?
[00:54.452]I’m half a world away from you
[00:58.367]
[01:03.209]The air where you film today
[01:04.890]Is filled with death
[01:09.085]The animals in the jungle
[01:11.323]Have no wings
[01:14.976]The phone in the hotel room
[01:17.785]Never rings
[01:21.146]How can I complain
[01:23.108]I cannot speak
[01:25.350]
[01:27.307]If I could hold you for a while
[01:30.391]If I could would you stay mine?
[01:33.191]I’m half a world away from you
[01:37.395]
[02:03.211]When the plane comes in
[02:04.898]To touch the ground
[02:08.821]Children lift their heads to hear that sound
[02:14.981]You wear a hero’s badge upon your chest
[02:20.588]My heart just slightly swollen from this test
[02:25.900]
[02:27.853]If I could hold you for a while
[02:30.091]If I could would you stay mine?
[02:32.891]I’m half a world away from you

I’m half a world away from you
I’m half a world away
Where we’re apart
Africa and the bush
Take you far
The lens, the story, the picture
Is your call
If I could hold you for a while
If I could would you stay mine?
I’m half a world away from you
The air where you film today
Is filled with death
The animals in the jungle
Have no wings
The phone in the hotel room
Never rings
How can I complain
I cannot speak
If I could hold you for a while
If I could would you stay mine?
I’m half a world away from you
When the plane comes in
To touch the ground
Children lift their heads to hear that sound
You wear a hero’s badge upon your chest
My heart just slightly swollen from this test
If I could hold you for a while
If I could would you stay mine?
I’m half a world away from you
