Savatage - Believe lyrics

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 is 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 and 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, yeah 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, yeah 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, yeah 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 is believe Believe
