(whitfield/strong)

I can turn your gray sky blue
I could make it rain whenever i wanted to
I can build a castle from a single grain of sand
I can make a ship sail on dry land
But my life is incomplete and i'm so blue
'cause i can't get next to you
Next to you, i just can't get next to you

I can fly like a bird in the sky
Hey, and i can buy anything that money can buy
I can turn a river into a raging fire
I could live forever if i so desired
Unimportant are all these things i can do
'cause i can't get next to you
No matter what i do

I can turn back the hands of time
You'd better believe i can
I can make the seasons change
Just by a wave of my hand
I can change anything from old to new
The thing i want to do the most i'm unable to do
Unhappy am i with all the powers i possess
'cause girl, you're the key to my happiness
And i, wo, i can't get next to you

Girl, you're blowin' my mind 'cause i can't get (next to you)
Can't you see these tears i'm cryin'? i can't get (next to you)
Girl, it's you that i need; i gotta get (next to you)
