Until We All Are One Again

We left our names on the old school wall

Three small stars by the basketball

Your red scarf caught on the garden gate

We said goodbye, but we wouldn’t say it was too late

The train pulled out past the county line

Your hand in mine for the final time

I kept your letter inside my coat

Every word still keeps this promise afloat

Years may turn the road to dust

But some bonds are stronger than us

When the light all fades away and it feels like it’s the end

I can feel in my soul it’s not over, someday we’ll meet again

Till all are one

Till all are one

Until we all are one again

Till all are one again

I saw your face in a crowded train

In a stranger’s smile through the window rain

I heard our song from an open door

And for a second, we were seventeen once more

The old oak tree still marks the hill

The bench we carved is standing still

Though different streets may carry us far

I know exactly where you are

Time can bend the shape of trust

But it can’t erase what lives in us

When the light all fades away and it feels like it’s the end

I can feel in my soul it’s not over, someday we’ll meet again

Till all are one

Till all are one

Until we all are one again

Till all are one again

If you reach the river, wait by the stone

If I arrive first, I’ll leave a note

No locked door and no turning tide

Can keep the hearts that walk side by side

One day the distance will disappear

One day the voices we love will be near

When the light all fades away and it feels like it’s the end

I can feel in my soul it’s not over, someday we’ll meet again

Till all are one

Till all are one

Until we all are one again

Till all are one again
