I close my eyes and slip away And long for change within the air Hope fills my soul, I realise
I have the sky under my feet Sun up above, I am complete Joy fills my heart in Paradise
I sense your hand Searching for mine (I am) Falling through time
I feel your love Reaching across (transcend) All the years we lost
Someone's calling me Echoes of a childhood memory
Eyes open wide as I awake I sense no change within the air Hope leaves my soul, I paralyse
This world of pain and suffering Creeps into me and once again I mourn the loss of innocence
If I could run away Back to my innocent days
Someone's calling me Echoes of a childhood memory Someone's calling me Echoes of a childhood memory
Passages of time Buried in the chaos of my mind Chronicles of life Concealing a truth I left behind
Passages of time Buried in the chaos of my mind Chronicles of life Concealing a truth I can't deny
Moon begins to rise Reflecting on a life once sanctified Night begins to fall Voices of my youth, immutable
Memories collide My scattered soul is almost unified Thoughts are in full flight Enveloping a wisdom earned with time
Passages of time Stripping back the layers of my mind Chronicles of life Unraveling a truth which I must find
Passages of time Stripping back the layers of my mind Chronicles of life Unraveling a truth I kept inside

[Left & Right] Snow is falling all around What once was lost has now been found The life I had to leave behind Is crystallising in my mind
Reminiscing on the past A bygone time that could not last The splintered crystal of my prime Is now a bell that will not chime
The crystallising thoughts of youth They flood my mind and show me truth My soul was free in days of yore A white seed that once was pure
The snow is falling all around What once was lost has now been found The life I had to leave behind Is crystallising in my mind
[Middle] Reminiscing on a bygone time Splintered crystal prime a bell that will not chime
Crystallising thoughts of my faded youth Flood my mind and bringeth waves of truth Now the echoes of a false lullaby Like a black seed in a bed of lies
[Middle-Left] Splintering the crystal a bell that will not chime Thoughts flood my mind in truth a faded youth Splintering the crystal a bell that will not chime I will return...
[Middle-Right] The snow is falling... New life is calling...

I have returned To the springtime in the garden Seeds are sown, flowers grow And the child is born again
Filled with delight And the laughter is contagious As we dance, as we sing Celebrating 'til the end
Joy and respite On the faces of the children With a smile, realise That their love will never end
I have received Affirmation of the spirit Falling snow takes me home And the man is whole again
Mind open wide as I awake I sense a change within myself Hope feeds my soul I realise
I feel the earth under my feet Son by my side, I am complete Pride fills my heart in Paradise
Hearts open wide as I awake I sense a change within myself Love feeds my soul I realise
This world of pain and suffering Ignites in me and once again Sparks the rebirth of innocence
If I could run away I'd choose to live for today
Someone's calling me Echoes of a childhood memory
The moon will rise, the night will fall I hold your hand but you let go The sun will shine, the snow will thaw All things must pass into the unknown
