So after all those one night stands

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 they were not enough

To get you in

And 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 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



I never wanted to know

Never wanted to see

I wasted my time

'Til time wasted me



I never wanted to go

Always wanted to stay

'Cause the person I am

Are the parts that I play



So I plot and I plan

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't pay

Yeah



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 allIi ask of you



Believe
