YouTube - Savatage- "Somewhere in Time" & "Believe"
From the album Streets: A Rock Opera written in 1991.
So what can I tell you
If life's the length of this play
Perhaps God gave the answers
To those with nothing to say
But then the years are forgiving
If God's forgiving in kind
Perhaps we'll all find
our answers somewhere
in time
I've been changing
Redefining
All the things I thought I knew
So long ago
When I was flying
Through those years that
seem so far away
In the back of a reason
In the back of my mind
Where I've piled up the seasons
That I've traded for times
I've been grasping at rainbows
Hanging on till the end
But the rain is so real lord
And the rainbows pretend
And the rainbows pretend
I've been changing
Redefining
All the things I thought I knew
So long ago
When I was flying
Through the years
That seem so far away
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 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
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 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
I never wanted to go
I always wanted to stay
'Cause the persons 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'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...
Believe...
