Lookin` 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, livin`, dreamin`, thinkin` of
The moment I slip on the glove, my fear is gone. The grain of hope has grown.

Starin` 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 dries up 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.

The distant feeling`s gone, and I can make it from now on.
My world has something new. It`s all because of you.
The sweet green fields growing in my life will never die.

Lookin` 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.
Now I`ll be running, laughing, playing in the sweet green fields of belonging to someone.
Well I`ll be running, laughing, playing in the sweet green fields of belonging to someone.
