0:07Long before the colors start to bleed
0:47I can see the painting come alive
0:54Clever like an angel in disguise
0:59Moving in and out of reach
1:03If the candle lights this crooked path
1:31Like a lighthouse peering through the haze
1:33I will find the river through the rain
1:37And Ill reach the waters edge
1:58Be my eyes when I cant see
2:05Shed your light on me
2:09Be my guide so I can see
2:17The bigger picture
2:18Like a moth burned by the fire
2:25And driven to the flame
2:28(Prophecy's a blessing and a curse)
2:30I must bear this cross alone
2:40Theres no one else to blame
2:42With each treasure found
2:50Another shipwrecks washed ashore
2:53I am carried by the current
2:57On a slow and steady course
3:00What if caught in a moment
4:24I get lost and can't find my way
4:28What if all along I was wrong
4:37In every turn, in every way
4:44Would you talk me off the ledge
4:51Or let me take the fall
4:57Better to try and fail
5:01Then to never try at all
5:11You look but cannot see
6:16Talk but never speak
6:17You live but cannot breathe
6:20See but dont believe
6:21Wounds that never heal
6:29A heart that cannot feel
6:33A dream thats all too real
6:39A stare as cold as steel
6:43Ive listened to the stories of resentment and disdain
6:49Ive looked into the empty eyes of anger, fear, and shame
6:53Ive taken blood from every stone
6:57And traveled every road
7:02When I see the distant lights illuminate the night
7:07Then I will know I am home
Long before the colors start to bleed I can see the painting come alive Clever like an angel in disguise Moving in and out of reach If the candle lights this crooked path Like a lighthouse peering through the haze I will find the river through the rain And Ill reach the waters edge Be my eyes when I cant see Shed your light on me Be my guide so I can see The bigger picture Like a moth burned by the fire And driven to the flame (Prophecy's a blessing and a curse) I must bear this cross alone Theres no one else to blame With each treasure found Another shipwrecks washed ashore I am carried by the current On a slow and steady course What if caught in a moment I get lost and can't find my way What if all along I was wrong In every turn, in every way Would you talk me off the ledge Or let me take the fall Better to try and fail Then to never try at all You look but cannot see Talk but never speak You live but cannot breathe See but dont believe Wounds that never heal A heart that cannot feel A dream thats all too real A stare as cold as steel Ive listened to the stories of resentment and disdain Ive looked into the empty eyes of anger, fear, and shame Ive taken blood from every stone And traveled every road When I see the distant lights illuminate the night Then I will know I am home
