There was a shadow over heaven

On the day that I was born

They tried to bless me with holy water

But I was baptised in a storm... Oh yeahhh

I was raised with a crossbow aiming for something real

I sent out the arrow from behind my defense shield

Eternal dreamer so full of light

faithful believer soon I will arise

They tried to put me down

And it [bad word] me hard

I used to turn the other cheek

Till they pushed me too far

Now I'm right on target

And my thoughts are clearer

Closer to balance as the end draws neare... Oh yeahh

I give you everything just for a while

You got the best of me this is my time

The seed I've been given, Hallelujah

To grow my ambitions high

All you people of the western land

Is it so hard to smile and lend a helping hand

Open your hearts it can be simple

If you just show what you feel

Go look for something real

You can call me a peace warrior

dark soul of light

I sing for the future

And the melody is my guide

Sailing the waters

Of this endless lullaby

My ship is leaking

Can't stop it if I try... Ohh

They tried to put me down

And it [bad word] me hard

I used to turn the other cheek

Till they pushed me too far

Now I'm right on target

And my thoughts are clearer

Closer to harmony as my love feels nearer

I give you everythign just for a while

You got the best of me this is my time

The seed I've been given, Hallelujah

To grow my ambitions high

All you people of the western land

Is it so hard to smile and lend a helping hand

Open your hearts it can be simple

If you just know what you feel

Go look for something real
