when the lake of despair is so serene   when the tempest in your heart's breaking in   still there is no horizon here   through troubled waters I swim   the saving sheet-anchor will appear   before I'm drowning in rapids near      [chorus]   so what if the darkness rules your mind   just follow into the light   and what if your whole world stays behind   it's robbing you of your sight   I'll find my way back to the light   in the mirror the shades of the pictures fade   look behind the charading games they played   take those chains here away from me   don't pour some oil into the fire   shake off the past and you will agree   will-o'-the wisps they will be never leading me      [chorus]   don't dream of life just live your dream   and use the power of believing   I am eternal, into the light I ride   into the cosmic force beyond the other side   I am a traverler in timea   nd I will find my way back into   my way back into the light   right into the light I ride   way back into the light
