I close my eyes and slip away
And long for change within the air
Hope fills my soul, I realise
I have the sky under my feet
Sun up above, I am complete
Joy fills my heart in Paradise
I sense your hand searching for mine (I am)
I feel your love reaching across (Transcend)
Echoes of a childhood memory
Eyes open wide as I awake
I sense no change within the air
Hope leaves my soul, I paralyse
This world of pain and suffering
Creeps into me and once again
I mourn the loss of innocence
Echoes of a childhood memory
Echoes of a childhood memory
Buried in the chaos of my mind
Concealing a truth I left behind
Buried in the chaos of my mind
Concealing a truth I can't deny
Reflecting on a life once sanctified
Voices of my youth, immutable
My scattered soul is almost unified
Thoughts are in full flight
Enveloping a wisdom earned with time
Stripping back the layers of my mind
Unraveling a truth which I must find
Stripping back the layers of my mind
Unraveling a truth I kept inside
Snow is falling all around
What once was lost has now been found
The life I had to leave behind
Is crystallising in my mind
A bygone time that could not last
The splintered crystal of my prime
Is now a bell that will not chime
The crystallising thoughts of youth
They flood my mind and show me truth
My soul was free in days of yore
A white seed that once was pure
The snow is falling all around
What once was lost has now been found
The life I had to leave behind
Is crystallising in my mind
Reminiscing on a bygone time
Splintered crystal prime a bell that will not chime
Crystallising thoughts of my faded youth
Flood my mind and bringeth waves of truth
Now the echoes of a false lullaby
Like a black seed in a bed of lies
Splintering the crystal a bell that will not chime
Thoughts flood my mind in truth a faded youth
I reminisce on the past a time gone by
Splintering the crystal a bell that will not chime
Snow is falling all around
What once was lost has now been found
The life I had to leave behind
Is crystallising in my mind
A bygone time that could not last
The splintered crystal of my prime
Is now a bell that will not chime
The crystallising thoughts of youth
They flood my mind and show me truth
My soul was free in days of yore
A white seed that once was pure
The snow is falling all around
What once was lost has now been found
The life I had to leave behind
Is crystallising in my mind
Reminiscing on a bygone time
Splintered crystal prime a bell that will not chime
Crystallising thoughts of my faded youth
Flood my mind and bringeth waves of truth
Now the echoes of a false lullaby
Like a black seed in a bed of lies
Splintering the crystal a bell that will not chime
Thoughts flood my mind in truth a faded youth
I reminisce on the past a time gone by
Splintering the crystal a bell that will not chime
To the springtime in the garden
Seeds are sown, flowers grow
And the child is born again
And the laughter is contagious
On the faces of the children
That their love will never end
Affirmation of the spirit
Falling snow takes me home
And the man is whole again
Mind open wide as I awake
I sense a change within myself
Hope feeds my soul I realise
I feel the earth under my feet
Son by my side, I am complete
Pride fills my heart in Paradise
Hearts open wide as I awake
I sense a change within myself
Love feeds my soul I realise
This world of pain and suffering
Ignites in me and once again
Sparks the rebirth of innocence
I'd choose to live for today
Echoes of a childhood memory
Escaping the past by embracing the future
Escaping the past by embracing the future
Escaping the past by embracing the future
Escaping the past by embracing the future
