[00:07.23]	Long before the colors start to bleed
[00:47.31]	I can see the painting come alive
[00:54.47]	Clever like an angel in disguise
[00:59.89]	Moving in and out of reach
[01:03.82]	If the candle lights this crooked path
[01:31.93]	Like a lighthouse peering through the haze
[01:33.48]	I will find the river through the rain
[01:37.16]	And I?ll reach the water?s edge
[01:40.65][*]	Shed your light on me
[01:58.48]	Be my eyes when I can?t see
[02:05.72]	Shed your light on me
[02:09.84]	Be my guide so I can see
[02:17.91]	The bigger picture
[02:18.53]	Like a moth burned by the fire
[02:25.92]	And driven to the flame
[02:28.67]	（Prophecy's a blessing and a curse）
[02:30.01]	I must bear this cross alone
[02:40.34]	There?s no one else to blame
[02:42.71]	With each treasure found
[02:50.57]	Another shipwreck?s washed ashore
[02:53.51]	I am carried by the current
[02:57.44]	On a slow and steady course
[02:59.81][* Repeat]
[03:00.74]	What if caught in a moment
[04:24.36]	I get lost and can't find my way
[04:28.98]	What if all along I was wrong
[04:37.48]	In every turn, in every way
[04:44.92]	Would you talk me off the ledge
[04:51.92]	Or let me take the fall
[04:57.65]	Better to try and fail
[05:01.65]	Then to never try at all
[05:11.40]	You look but cannot see
[06:16.02]	Talk but never speak
[06:17.45]	You live but cannot breathe
[06:20.89]	See but don?t believe
[06:21.63]	Wounds that never heal
[06:29.00]	A heart that cannot feel
[06:33.93]	A dream that?s all too real
[06:39.17]	A stare as cold as steel
[06:43.98]	I?ve listened to the stories of resentment and disdain
[06:49.96]	I?ve looked into the empty eyes of anger, fear, and shame
[06:53.83]	I?ve taken blood from every stone
[06:57.95]	And traveled every road
[07:02.07]	When I see the distant lights illuminate the night
[07:07.57]	Then I will know I am home

[00:07.23]	Long before the colors start to bleed
[00:47.31]	I can see the painting come alive
[00:54.47]	Clever like an angel in disguise
[00:59.89]	Moving in and out of reach
[01:03.82]	If the candle lights this crooked path
[01:31.93]	Like a lighthouse peering through the haze
[01:33.48]	I will find the river through the rain
[01:37.16]	And I? ll reach the water? s edge
[01:40.65][*]	Shed your light on me
[01:58.48]	Be my eyes when I can? t see
[02:05.72]	Shed your light on me
[02:09.84]	Be my guide so I can see
[02:17.91]	The bigger picture
[02:18.53]	Like a moth burned by the fire
[02:25.92]	And driven to the flame
[02:28.67]	Prophecy' s a blessing and a curse
[02:30.01]	I must bear this cross alone
