I'm blind-folded on this carriage ride that they call life. Keep trying to make it through the next turn, knuckles white and holdin' tight. So here I go, takin' the curve, but I know that I'm never alone. I think of you, and how you never let me go. I feel connected (connected), protected (protected), it's like you're sitting right with me all the time. You hear me (you hear me), you're near me (you're near me), and everything else is gonna be alright. 'Cause nothing can break this, nothing can break this, nothing can break this tie. Connected... oooooh connected inside. It's not an accident, the time we spent apart. But now we're so close, I can always find you right here in my heart. You've given me, somethin' I need, and I don't ever want it to end. Because of you, I know I've found my strength again. I feel connected (connected), protected (protected), it's like you're sitting right with me all the time. You hear me (you hear me), you're near me (you're near me), and everything else is gonna be alright. 'Cause nothing can break this, nothing can break this, nothing can break this tie. Connected... ooooh connected inside. Everytime that I breathe, I can feel the energy. Reachin' out, flowin' through, you to me and me to you. Make A Dream, Walk a Step, you are everywhere I am. Seperate souls, unified, touching at the speed of light. oh, light, oh whoa <b>...</b>
