• so after all these 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 dreams 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
  grown-up wings
  you needed
  
  but when you had to add them up
  you found that they 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
  
  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 is
  believe
  
  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 person 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
  and all i ask of you is
  believe
