John Petrucci - A New Beginning lyrics

[Faythe] Father, I implore you Don't believe a word He is not the enemy That is just absurd You may see his talent As some kind of threat But I know we were meant to be From the day we met Give us both a chance For a new beginning Nothing would mean more to me He is just a man Can't you show him mercy Sympathy and strength go hand in hand [Emperor Nefaryus] This man's a fraud and a hoax He'll only shatter your hopes Saddest of all is to watch how you fall For this person who you hardly know [Faythe] Ignorant, stubborn You have no respect Not just for her flesh and blood That I knew you'd protect Listen without judgement Keep an open mind If you cannot see the truth You're the one who's blind We don't stand a chance That is his opinion Mother, can you talk to him? Try to understand How they must be feeling Misery's to know what might have been [Emperor Nefaryus] Why would I ever concede To listen to this fool? How can you be so naive? You must be living in a world of make-believe Do you really think this charlatan is who he claims to be? [Empress Arabelle] Not long ago there was a time and place You too possessed the same desires as Faythe You knew how it felt to feel invisible Music calmed your soul, just like a drug Remember, Bug? [Faythe] Father is it true Bug was always you? Finally I can reveal How music makes me feel Now you understand Why I was hiding This changes everything I would like a chance For a new beginning In the end the final word is with me [Instrumental]
