This life, and all the things I'd known

Turned away, and left behind

The truth was buried long ago

Memories fade in passing time



For years, I felt my solitude

Never seemed to leave my side

My way was lost forever then

All my dreams were cast aside



I turn away but the vision of truth stains my eyes

I try to run but the image cuts through my disguise



Beneath the emptiness, reveals my bitterness

I cannot soon forget, this dream's not over yet

In the land of my birth, I am still touching the earth



The fears that kept me far away

Slowly die and draw me near

The past I sought to bury deep

Comes again to fill my need



I cast away all the stones that carried me down

I will return to the life that my past tried to drown



Beneath the emptiness, reveals my bitterness

I cannot soon forget, this dream's not over yet

In the land of my birth, I am still touching the earth
