Hope is the candle To lead them through the deep inferno Help me father To make these words a picture of the thing And to earn the praises they sing Time flies on by And I feel so detached from real life They whisper softly It fills me with a sense of dread I question Do they know me for what I really am? Surprise it doesn't frighten them to look so deep I see inside the madman they trust in The doubting me The shining knight in white They think they know me for what I am Night is closing in And this fool can only do the best he can We are turning pages Ever changing mind and faith Infinite in our complexity Choosing our own way Can never really stay Living out our desperate dreams in constant change Hello conscience I thought that you were all but dead It's true wishful thinking Dealing with who I am And voices like the shadows call filling my Surroundings everlasting and maddening Crowding but lonely and apart They think they know me for what I am Time the visions come And I see Shining but distant Burning out of the night We are turning pages of ever-changing mind and faith Disbelieving our mortality Choosing our own way Can never really stay Living out our desperate dreams in constant change Nothing can ever stay the same for you and I Smile when the morning comes Safe in the rising sun Find what you're looking for Breathe in the warmth of the day We are turning pages Ever changing mind and faith Infinite in our complexity Choosing our own way Can never really stay Living out our desperate dreams in constant change
