Hourglass - The Journey Into Lyrics

[THE BARRIER FALLS]

For a moment, touch the sky
For a moment, you can fly
If sunlight will fall today.
For a moment, who am I
For a moment, for a try
As the barrier falls today.

All too soon, what am I
All too soon, you and I
Fly to the end of time.
All too soon, I'm falling fast
All too soon, a fading past
Is gone with no reason or rhyme.

[RECKLESSNESS]

Spending life so helpless, my world has fallen apart
Spending life so friendless, I'm praying for one new start.

Taking on the challenges
that I'm faced with everyday.
Facing all the differences
so things will change someday.

I'm not ready for this -
how could I be ready for this?
I need to find another way
to hold on for one more day.

It's deliverance that I need
with no warnings left to heed
as I rise above the restlessness.
I find a sense of carelessness,
a sense of loss, a sense of life,
a pretense of my recklessness.

Trying to wait patiently for things that carry weight
A greater hope of faithfulness is hope I can't create.

Looking for the solution
or an answer from the sky.
Things will start to fall in place
when I live outside the lie.

Do you hear the thunder
as the clouds prepare
for somber rain?
Do you ever wonder
why life is strange
and full of pain?

It's deliverance that I need
with no warnings left to heed
as I rise above the restlessness.
I find a sense of carelessness,
a sense of loss, a sense of life,
a pretense of my recklessness.

[THE ROAD DOWN]

In the dark I close my eyes
There's an image of you deep inside.
And every day that passes by,
part of me is gone with the tide.

My thoughts reflect too far
as I wonder where you are.
This fear has found a home
and lies deep within the bone.

On a clear and distant night
with no heat from summer light,
I begin to see the end
in the wake of fate's new trend.

I have no way to clear my sight
I have no sense of wrong or right,
as I force my will to go
a direction no map can show.

And as I find a way down the wandering road,
I feel a sense of sadness,
I steal a sense of hope.

I have what's in my mind,
what I need is what I can find.
On this road that leads me down
while my head spins 'round and 'round.

[WHERE I STAND IN THE LIGHT]

Now the storm, the storm is raging
and I feel it inside tonight.
And since the norm is always changing,
I can't find where I stand in the light.

All the lack of care I've shown
has left me lost without a home.
I'm playing roles not meant for me.
I'm making goals not meant to be.

For a moment what would I give
to see the day end this night?
All too soon I'm forced to live
with no dawn in my sight.

Where do I stand, can't someone tell me?
I've been searching, searching all this time
It's not what I planned, but something tells me
I've been waiting too long for a sign.

What I feel I've had to steal
What I've got is all that's real.
What I've got I've had to steal
What I feel is all that's real.

Now the storm, the storm is raging
and I feel it inside tonight.
And since the norm is always changing,
I can't find where I stand in the light.

And the storm is raging on.

The answers I'm seeking are on the horizon.
All questions are fleeting
in the storm that's raging on.
The storm that is raging
is where I walk into the light.

[THE RAGING STORM]

[DELIVERANCE]

In my search I found the path
Now my mind is freed at last.
All thoughts that plague me are stripped away
as I find the meaning in the dawn of day.

In the forefront of my mind
is what I left behind
in this long journey's end.
I'm taken to a new light.
What I had from the start
is the thing that was right
If only I had seen
deliverance was in me.

And the storm, the storm was raging,
I could feel it inside that night.
And since I was set on changing
I have found what to stand for
and what is right.

It's deliverance that I've found
with no warnings left to sound.
'Cause I rose above the restlessness
to find a sense of carelessness.
A sense of loss, a sense of life
Deliverance from my recklessness.
