Feels like only yesterday I was left alone to find my way
Alone with only empty hopes and dreams (dreams (whisper))
I traveled with no direction planned. Endless miles a contraband.
But fate would intercede for me it seems.

I faced obstacles extremely bold; paid the price one thousand fold.
Rose to each challenge that I would meet.
My efforts though they seemed in vain would one day help to ease the pain
I swore I would never accept defeat

I will carry on
My tears are gone.

Even if the storm shall reach this shore
I shall concede to fear no more
If the world would end this very day
I'm not afraid

If the sun shines not after this night
Past the darkness glows a light
That will not let me drift astray
An internal ray
To light my way
To light my way

Life was restored when you drifted in. You gave me a chance to win again.
You even cared enough to call me friend.
The faith you shared renewed my strength. Carried me through unmeasured lengths.
On your love I can honestly depend

For all the dreams I've yet to find, all the heartache I've left behind.
All my inhibitions have gone away.
For all I hoped I could achieve, [bad word] because I believe.
So thankful that I finally found my way.

I will carry on, 
My tears are gone, 
I'm not afraid.
