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 (Prophecies’ a blessing and a curse) I must bare 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
[CHORUS]
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
