(Kerry Livgren)
Sweet child of innocence
Living in the present tense

Father Time will take his toll
Rack your body and steal your soul
What became of all the years

Are you drowning in your tears
Who will catch you when you fall
Who will hear you when you call


(Chorus)
I will comfort you, take your hand and see you through

I will take you through the door

Who do you think you are

Try to live forever and you won't get far
I wait behind your door
Makes no difference if you're rich or poor

Though you're weary and afraid
Still you try to flee my blade
Come and walk in my new land

If you'll only take my hand

(Chorus)


In the image of those who have walked before me here
I am cast in the web of an ancient spell

I am holding on to life, I'm drifting in the stream
Everything's much clearer now
We live within a dream and never wake


Judge not by what you see
More than you can count are here with me

Give up your foolish pride
All that walk the earth have died!
