This is my favorite song from one of my favorite bands. It's the closing track from Savatage's "Streets: a Rock Opera" this song is so unbelievably profound
"So after all those 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 the things 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 dreams 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
And all I ask of you is
Believe
Your childhood eyes were
so intense,
While bartering your innocence
For bits of string
The 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 hide
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 the dark
I hear your screams
Don't walk 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 is
Believe
I never wanted to know
Never wanted to see
I wasted my time
till time wasted me
I never wanted to go
I always wanted to stay
'Cause the person i am
Are the parts that I play
So i plot and i plan,
And i 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 no longer pay
I am your Way
I am your Light
I am the Dark
Inside your Night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
And in the Dark
I hear your screams
Don't turn away
I'll take your hand
And when you take
Your Final Stand
I'll be right here,
I'll never leave
All i ask of you is
Believe"
