What new world is this Where the dark meets the light? That calls me to act Or to spare, or to fight It gives me this power That shines, burning bright But I'll get my freedom Before morning light I cross through this field Of the dark's hopes and dreams A world unfamiliar Nothing as it seems With ashes and dust All my memories scream That I've lost my choice Of what can be redeemed Nobody has to die There's no reason why We can't let them be We'll go and make amends That's how the story ends Be the change you want to be Although this world is faded to black I know all the stories are true You'll free us all with me at your back And I'm glad to be there with you I cross through this field (although this world) Of the dark's hopes and dreams (is faded to black) A world unfamiliar (I know all the stories) Nothing as it seems (are true) With ashes and dust (you'll free us all) All my memories scream (with me at your back) That I've lost my choice (and I'm glad to be there with) Of what can be redeemed (you) Be the change you want to be Is there a choice for me? I guess we'll wait and see Lost in this world I do not understand Things unfamiliar but so out of hand Is my lot in life just to follow commands? As child of light and as child of man The surveys in town tell me how much I've grown My soul an enigma that they'll never know Now everything feels like my will's not my own Since I have been cast to the darkness below I know you'll find a way To share the light of day With everybody here Life is a crazy ride But when we're side by side Then there's nothing to fear Although this world is faded to black I know all the stories are true You'll free us all with me at your back And I'm glad to be there with you You think I don't notice their stares? They surveys in town (although this world) Tell me how much I've grown (is faded to black) My soul an enigma (I know all the stories) That they'll never know (are true) It doesn't matter, I won't care Now everything feels (you'll free us all) Like my will's not my own (with me at your back) Since I have been cast (and I'm glad to be there) To the darkness below (with you) What is there I can be? Since there's no choice for me?
