The fruit is eternal, but the basket is not The fruits are everlasting, but the basket will rot This world is not forever, it's a crazy, crazy place If i knew i had to stay here, i'd be a basket case There is someone who loves you There is someone watching over you Tonight from the corner of your soul There is someone who needs you Someone who wants to be your guiding light And a refuge from the storm of life It's so elementary, all inside the book Makes me wonder, why doesn't everybody look Life can be so lonely, no one seems to care But what it seems may not always be what is really there There is someone who loves you There is someone watching over you Tonight from the corner of your soul There is someone who needs you Someone who wants to be your guiding light And a refuge from the storm of life How much longer it's all going to last I can't really answer, but the end is coming fast There's not much time left to spread the word around I want you there when the roll is called and we hear the trumpets sound
