Lyrics
Someday without a doubt, we will find what this is all about
Towards which destiny? We will find out
Now is the time to be my best, just a little better than all the rest
Traversing the changing winds of song and of time
Will a shadow emerge from within? Someday we will find
Was the grass any greener back in ‘88?
Or am I a victim of my own surprise in shaping my fate?
Is it too late?
We come here today with sorrow and pain
We lift up our hearts but blood falls like rain
Still I declare from the depths of my soul, “I believe in love”
Lord, I want you to know, I believe in your love
Once we held life in the palm of our hand
But it was taken away and given to a better man
So many moments that fade to ambiguity
Too many worthless tasks given priority, in futility
From the outside looking in, I’m still undecided on where to begin
As the villagers gather each night at the wishing well
Yearning for greener grass and new stories to tell
Better stories to tell
We’ll light up the sky, design the attack,
Forge a thousand charms to bring it all back
