Lyrics[]
[GABRIEL:] When your time has come And you're looking toward the light All that really matters Is what you leave behind So let your heart be free Keep your spirit burning bright Set down the stones you carry Take the weight off your mind When you're facing the path that divides Know that I will be there by your side Find your strength in the sound of my voice And you'll know Which choice is right In this fleeting life We can sometimes lose our way But night is always darkest Just before the new day When you're facing the path that divides Know that I will be there by your side Find your strength in the sound of my voice And you'll know Which choice is right [FAYTHE:] This very moment Was always meant to be I never noticed But all at once I see On the worst of days, when I felt most alone With no one to share the secret that I hide I grew numb to all the emptiness inside But now I've found my home
