lyrics

Awoken from a dream
I find I cannot sleep
so I watch the first light
creep across the room
Unfamiliar shapes
in an unfamiliar place
I'm somewhere out in space
but I'm on my way home soon
I'm on my way home

I can see how the dark recedes now
morning on the mountains shines, shines
In my mind's eye
miles just fly by
following your beacon
let it shine

Above this snowy grid
the land turns cracked and broken
so much like my resolve
to keep you far from me
Like each river and each creek
that snakes a path beneath
you are water in a rock
determined to break free
determined to break

I can feel how resistance leaves now
sweet anticipation shines, shines
In my mind's eye
miles just fly by
following your beacon
let it shine, let it shine

And I leave the ground behind
Over the clouds we climb
I'm not afraid the fly

I can see how the past recedes now
the distant horizon shines, shines
In my mind's eye
miles just fly by
following your beacon
let it shine, please let it shine
