New Horizons
The Other Two Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

New horizons are calling you
But they're so very far away
Good intentions are making it through
Getting harder and harder each day

Not just because I've known you so long
Not just because for me you've been strong
Not just because I see what you can do
Because I believe in you

CHORUS
And when you need someone to care
I'm going to be right there with you
When you need someone to share
I'm going to be waiting there
Right here
Right now
The right time
The right day
The right place you'll find
That you'll need someone to care
I'm going to be standing there

To the sound of a distant drum
All your chances go walking by
You are different from everyone
No time to be hypnotized

Not just because I've known you so long
Not just because for me you've been strong
Not just because I see what you can do
It's all part of loving you

CHORUS

When you need someone to care
I'm going to be right there with you
When you need someone to share
I'm going to be waiting there
Right here
Right now
The right time
The right day
The right place you'll find
Right here
Right now
The right time
The right day
The right place you'll find




That you'll need someone to care
I'm going to be standing there

This song should have been a single. I'm sure it would have got in the top 10.

Just lack of promotion was the ideas from Tony Wilson,( RIP), and the interest from Radio DJs
Only hear on Music 6 station
First album was much better, but they never cared about the charts
🤩🤝💃

Mark Wilson
