Rising clearheaded from a dream -of thousand years

Like a sunbeam through the rain clouds - amidst the tears

I realized the pattern of failure - that threatened me

Beyond the haunting haze - of human tragedy

I walked the hills of sorrow - and the mountains of fear

Jumped into the pool of freedom - where the water is clear

Refrain:

The final curtain’s opaque - in the light of day

             Awake from sleeping

The journey leaves no trace upon the unknown way

             Awake from sleeping   -   Awaaake

These four walls are now painted white - like a virgin skin

The door is opened wide for the new life - to begin

Everything depends on the embers of trust - in a different view 

I leave behind the shackles of lies - and seek what is true

Refrain

Rising clearheaded from a dream -of thousand years

Like a sunbeam through the rain clouds - amidst the tears

I walked the hills of sorrow - and the mountains of fear

Jumped into the pool of freedom - where the water is clear

Refrain
