Distant dreams that drift in your memory
A photograph of someone else's life
Day after day you follow down that lonely place
Don't seem to know the tired eyes, an empty face
But there's an open door to take you to higher ground
The spirit of an ordinary day
A ray of light
Among the peices of a broken heart
If you look a little deeper, look around

All my life I've waited for this time
The pain of everything that I've been through

We choose to make the journey
By fortunes hand to fight the battles marked
Along the way
We build a bridge between us and a distant land
And as we run and hide we turn it upside down
With courage in our hearts to face the day

And all my life I've waited for this time
The pain of everything I've been through
And all my life I've waited to feel this
So this time I give it all to share it with you

Nothing to die for, nothing to fear
Learn to be stronger, learn to be brave
Everything that we have, and all that we leave behind
The calling of a universal dream
We cross the bridge between us
And a distant land of freedom
Of a kind we've yet to understand
And colors of a kind we've never seen

And all my life I've waited for this time
The pain of everything I've been through
And all my life I've waited to feel this
So this time I give it all to share it with you
