Long before the colors start to bleed

If the candle lights this crooked path

Like a lighthouse peering through the haze

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
Em
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

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 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
D C
And traveled every road
F Bb
When I see the distant lights illuminate the night
F/A Eb Am G
Then I will know I am home
