You've ended up with heart in hand

A child alone

On your own

Retreating

Regretful for the things you're not

And all the things you haven't got

Without a home

A heart of stone

Lies bleeding

And for all the roads you followed

And for all you did not find

And for all the dreams you had to leave behind

I am the way

I am the light

I am the dark inside the night

I hear your hopes

I feel your dreams

And in the dark I hear your screams

Don't turn away

Just take my hand

And when you make your final stand

I'll be right there

I'll never leave

And all I ask of you

Believe

Your childhood eyes were so intense

While bartering your innocence

For bits of string

The grown-up wings

You needed

But when you had to add them up

You found that there were not enough

To get you in

Pay for sins repeated

And for all the years you borrowed

And for all the tears you hide

And for all the fears you had to keep inside

I am the way

I am the light

I am the dark inside the night

I hear your hopes

I feel your dreams

And in the dark

I hear your screams

Don't walk away

Just take my hand

And when you make your final stand

I'll be right there

I'll never leave

And all I ask of you is

Believe

I never wanted to know

Never wanted to see

I wasted my time

Till time wasted me

I never wanted to go

I always wanted to stay

'Cause the persons I am

Are the parts that I play

So I plot and I plan

And I hope and I scheme

To the lure of a night

Filled with unfinished dreams

And I'm holding on tight

To a world gone astray

As they charge me for years

I can no longer pay

I am the way

I am the light

I am the dark

Inside the night

I hear your hopes

I feel your dreams

And in the dark

I hear your screams

Don't turn away

Just take my hand

And when you make your final stand

I'll be right there

I'll never leave

And all I ask of you

Believe
