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 I'll reach the water's edge


[*] Shed your light on me
Be my eyes when I can't 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
There's no one else to blame

With each treasure found
Another shipwreck's washed ashore
I am carried by the current

On a slow and steady course

[* Repeat]


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 don't believe


Wounds that never heal
A heart that cannot feel

A dream that's all too real
A stare as cold as steel


I've listened to the stories of resentment and disdain
I've looked into the empty eyes of anger, fear, and shame
I've 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
