So after all those one night stands
You've ended up with heart in
hand
A child alone
On your own
Retreating
Regretful for the things you're not
And all the things you haven't
got
Without a home
A heart of stone
Lies bleeding
And for all the roads you followed
And for all you did not
find
And for all the things you had to leave behind
I am the way
I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear
your hopes
I feel your dreams
And in the dark I hear your screams
Don't turn away
Just take my hand
And when you make your
final stand
I'll be right there
I'll never leave
All I ask of you
Believe
Your childhood eyes were so intense
While
bartering your innocence
For bits of string
The grown-up wings
You needed
But when you had to add them up
You found
that there were not enough
To get you in
Pay for sins
Repeated
And for all the years you borrowed
And for all the tears
you cried
And for all the fears you had to keep inside
Yeah
I am the way
I am the light
I am the dark inside the
night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
And in the dark I hear your screams
Don't turn away
Just take my hand
And
when you make your final stand
I'll be right there
I'll never leave
And all I ask of you
Believe, yeah
I never wanted
to know
Never wanted to see
I wasted my time
Till time wasted me
Never wanted to go
Always wanted to stay
'Cause the
persons I am
Are the parts that I play
So I plot and I plan
Hope and I scheme
To the lure of a night
Filled with unfinished
dreams
And I'm holding on tight
To a world gone astray
As they charge me for years
I can't pay
I am the way
I am the
light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
And in the dark I hear your screams
Don't turn
away
Just take my hand
And when you make your final stand
I'll be right there
I'll never leave
All I ask of
you
Believe
Believe
