Hourgla** - The Journey Into lyrics

I. THE BARRIER FALLS For a moment, touch the sky For a moment, you can fly If sunlight will fall today For a moment, who am I For a moment, for a try As the barrier falls today All too soon, what am I All too soon, you and I Fly to the end of time All too soon, I'm falling fast All too soon, a fading past Is gone with no reason or rhyme Ii. RECKLESSNESS Spending life so helpless My world has fallen apart Spending life so friendless I'm praying for one new start Taking on the challenges That I'm faced with everyday Facing all the differences So things will change someday I'm not ready for this How could I be ready for this? I need to find another way To hold on for one more day It's deliverance that I need With no warnings left to heed As I rise above the restlessness I find a sense of carelessness A sense of loss, a sense of life A pretense of my recklessness Trying to wait patiently For things that carry weight A greater hope of faithfulness Is hope I can't create Looking for the solution Or an answer from the sky Things will start to fall in place When I live outside the lie Do you hear the thunder As the clouds prepare For somber rain? Do you ever wonder Why life is strange And full of pain? It's deliverance that I need With no warnings left to heed As I rise above the restlessness I find a sense of carelessness A sense of loss, a sense of life A pretense of my recklessness Iii. THE ROAD DOWN In the dark I close my eyes There's an image of you deep inside And every day that pa**es by Part of me is gone with the tide My thoughts reflect too far As I wonder where you are This fear has found a home And lies deep within the bone On a clear and distant night With no heat from summer light I begin to see the end In the wake of fate's new trend I have no way to clear my sight I have no sense of wrong or right As I force my will to go A direction no map can show And as I find a way Down the wandering road I feel a sense of sadness I steal a sense of hope I have what's in my mind What I need is what I can find On this road that leads me down While my head spins 'round and 'round Iv. WHERE I STAND IN THE LIGHT Now the storm, the storm is raging And I feel it inside tonight And since the norm is always changing I can't find where I stand in the light All the lack of care I've shown Has left me lost without a home I'm playing roles not meant for me I'm making goals not meant to be For a moment what would I give To see the day end this night All too soon I'm forced to live With no dawn in my sight Where do I stand Can't someone tell me? I've been searching Searching all this time It's not what I planned But something tells me I've been waiting too long for a sign What I feel I've had to steal What I've got is all that's real What I've got I've had to steal What I feel is all that's real Now the storm, the storm is raging And I feel it inside tonight And since the norm is always changing I can't find where I stand in the light And the storm is raging on The answers I'm seeking Are on the horizon All questions are fleeting In the storm that's raging on The storm that is raging Is where I walk into the light V. THE RAGING STORM (instrumental) Vi. DELIVERANCE In my search I found the path Now my mind is freed at last All thoughts that plague me Are stripped away As I find the meaning In the dawn of day In the forefront of my mind Is what I left behind In this long journey's end I'm taken to a new light What I had from the start Is the thing that was right If only I had seen Deliverance was in me And the storm, the storm was raging I could feel it inside that night And since I was set on changing I have found what to stand for And what is right It's deliverance that I've found With no warnings left to sound 'cause I rose above the restlessness To find a sense of carelessness A sense of loss, a sense of life Deliverance from my recklessness
