[Verse 1]
So after all those one night stands
You've ended up with heart in hand
A child alone on your own
Retreating
Regretful for the things you're not
And all the things you haven't got
Without a home
A heart of stone lies bleeding

[Pre-Chorus]
And for all the roads you followed
And for all you did not find
And for all the dreams you had to leave behind

[Chorus]
I am the way
I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
And in the dark I hear your screams
Don't turn away
Just take my hand
And when you make your final stand
I'll be right there
I'll never leave
And all I ask of you's
Believe
[Verse 2]
Your childhood eyes were so intense
While bartering your innocence
For bits of string
The grown-up wings you needed
But when you had to add them up
You found that they were not enough
To get you in
And pay for sins
Repeated

[Pre-Chorus]
And for all the years you borrowed
And for all the tears you hide
And for all the fears you had to keep inside

[Chorus]
I am the way
I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
And in the dark I hear your screams
Don't turn away
Just take my hand
And when you make your final stand
I'll be right there
I'll never leave
And all I ask of you's
Believe
Yeah
[Bridge]
I never wanted to know
Never wanted to see
I wasted my time
'Til time wasted me
Never wanted to go
Always wanted to stay
'Cause the person I am
Are the parts that I play
So I plot and I plan
Hope and I scheme
To the lure of a night
Filled with unfinished dreams
And I'm holding on tight
To a world gone astray
As they charge me for years
I can't pay
Yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
I am the way
I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
And in the dark I hear your screams
Don't turn away
Just take my hand
And when you make your final stand
I'll be right there
I'll never leave
And all I ask of you's
Believe
