i'm lying but not sleeping
and the dreams still come
eyes open as i'm told
to remember one
i hear an angel singing
and her voice reminds me
a note comes out, a string is strum -
i know where i will be

she tells me to be patient
she tells me to hold on
she tells me to remember that i am still strong
she speaks of my visions
says never let them go
and i hear what she's saying
things that i already know

but it's hard to stay focused
and it's hard to stay clear
with all the pain around us,
our path is sometimes smeared
we question our choices
rough roads lie ahead
it's easy to stay stagnant
say the voices that are in my head
one force pulls me forward
once force pulls me back
today, one is stronger
but tomorrow, that same one lacks

this day seems so long
the future is so far away
the angel's still calling
but i look the other way

she tells me i'm still glowing
she says to follow through
i tell her that i have seen
what black magic can do

and it's hard to stay focused
and it's hard to stay clear
with all the pain around us,
our path is sometimes smeared
we question our choices
rough roads lie ahead
it's easy to stay stagnant
say the voices that are in my head
one force pulls me forward
once force takes me back
today, one is stronger
and tomorrow, that same one lacks
either way, i'm still going
what other choice do i have?
hope carries me forward
and now i can never turn back
no, now i can't ever turn back..
