Cast me aside and let me go;
I know that righteousness will fall.
Give me time so I can glow,
Share my light, and let you know.

Redraw the line
So I know which border not to cross
Set me aside
And make a circle of it all.

Here we are now, you and I,
We are the saviors of this time.
I have spoken in dissent,
If tomorrow soon we lie.

A new era of time,
And still this feeling that happens calls,
Please let me walk alone.
I need to hide my face ... away.
And whether for better or for worse,
Where is it beckoning me?
Or will my feelings soon be free?
So I can turn away
And face the light,
Or start a new fight,
And hope this time it will go my way.
