there once was a light
a feeling in the air
things would be alright
the light went out
the air was turning foul
closed my eyes and said goodnight
to a dream we shared, a melody
i once believed we were free
a lie was born
we couldn't see it through
this is not my home
i can't come back around
to a sound that gave a fleeting joy
i need to find a different voice
the days are passing by
fighting through the dark
but i'm not lost
because yr here with me
and i know
that it's hard sometime to wade these seas
and breathe the air so gracefully
i once believed we were free
but i still believe
in you and me
