This life, and all the things I'd known   Turned away, and left behind   The truth was buried long ago   Memories fade in passing time      For years, I felt my solitude   Never seemed to leave my side   My way was lost forever then   All my dreams were cast aside      I turn away but the vision of truth stains my eyes   I try to run but the image cuts through my disguise      Beneath the emptiness, reveals my bitterness   I cannot soon forget, this dream's not over yet   In the land of my birth, I am still touching the earth      The fears that kept me far away   Slowly die and draw me near   The past I sought to bury deep   Comes again to fill my need      I cast away all the stones that carried me down   I will return to the life that my past tried to drown      Beneath the emptiness, reveals my bitterness   I cannot soon forget, this dream's not over yet   In the land of my birth, I am still touching the earth
