John Petrucci - Surrounded lyrics

[Intro] Morning comes too early And nighttime falls too late And sometimes all I want to do Is wait The shadow I've been hiding in Has fled from me today [Verse 1] I know it's easier to walk away Than look it in the eye But I will raise a shelter to the sky And here beneath this Star tonight I'll lie She will slowly yield the light As I awaken from the longest Night [Verse 2] Dreams are shaking Set sirens waking up tired eyes With the light the memories All rush into his head By a candle stands a mirror Of his heart and soul she Dances She was dancing thru the night Above his bed [Chorus] And walking to the window He throws the shutters out Against the wall And from an ivory tower hears Her call "Let light surround you" [Bridge] It's been a long, long time He's had a while to think it over In the end he only sees the Change Light to dark Dark to light Light to dark Dark to light [Verse 3] Heaven must be more than this When angels waken with a kiss Sacred hearts won't take the Pain But mine will never be the same [Chorus] He stands before the window His shadow slowly fading from The wall And from an ivory tower hears Her call "Let the light surround you" [Verse 4] Once lost but I was found When I heard the stained gla** Shatter all around me I sent the spirits tumbling Down the hill But I will hold this one on high Above me still She whispers words to clear my mind I once could see but now at last I'm blind [Outro] I know it's easier to walk away Than look it in the eye But I had given all that I could take And now I've only habits left To break Tonight I'll still be lying here Surrounded in all the light
