let me remind you all again
  that there is never any room
  for any doubt
  i feel it in my heart, i shout it out
  and if i decide to change my ways
  it's not because i've found the latest craze
  it's just that i've got more to lose this time
    you know that you can count on one thing
  i would never let you down
  as crazy as this world may seem
  the thing that keeps it spinning `round
  is always there
  so close and yet so far
    and you can believe it's true
  a reason behind everything i do
  a twist that makes it different every time
  there are those who say "it's all been done"
  there's nothing stopping us
  from having fun
  and that's why i'll be coming `round again
    you know that you can count on one thing
  i would never let you down
  as crazy as this world may seem
  the thing that keeps it spinning `round
  is always there
  so close and yet so far...
    ...away - but it gets a little closer every day
  and i will hold it in my hand before i die
  you know there isn't any way that we can lose
  and you don't have to be confused
  by hollow words that never mean a thing
  when tragic things keep happening
  to everyone around you
  you don't have to be the same
  this is the song that begs to set you free
  a sparkle in the night
  when we come face to face
  don't close your eyes
  don't ever turn away
    because the only way you'll ever know
  is if you ever really try
  so find out for yourself
  then you won't ever have to wonder why
  as crazy as this world may seem
  the thing that keeps it spinning `round
  is you because you're always there
  so close and yet so far
    always spinning around
  you're always there - so close and yet so far
  always there so far
