The weary world is waiting For ambition to be played Now young and not afraid I've got to challenge every challenge that I know
For I am just a sailor On a ship across the land Let me hold your hand To bid farewell So I can knuckle to my knees
But I'll be back again No matter where I go For it's only love That frees the fire for burning And I'll take you in my arms And tell you all I know As I sing the changing songs Of my returning
My drifting days prepare me To do battle with the night Phantom of the fight I've got to conquer All the courage of my fears
The answer lies in limbo And the harvest will be hard But sacred are the stars That leave their mark upon The fast dissolving years
Yes I'll be back again No matter where I go For it's only love That frees the fire for burning And I'll take you in my arms And tell you all I know As I sing the growing songs of my returning
Time must have her victory It's that I've always known But I've won or lost alone And when a voice calls out, "There's someone you should meet"
With every strength remaining I will suffer one more scene I'll gather all my dreams And with my final breath I'll lay them at your feet
Yes I'll be back again No matter where I go For it's only love That frees the fire for burning And I'll take you in my arms And tell you all I know As I sing the final song Of my returning
