There was a shadow over heaven  On the day that I was born  They tried to bless me with holy water  But I was baptised in a storm... Oh yeahhh    I was raised with a crossbow aiming for something real  I sent out the arrow from behind my defense shield  Eternal dreamer so full of lite  A faithful believer soon I will arise    They tried to put me down  And it struck me hard  I used to turn the other cheek  Till they pushed me too far  Now I'm right on target  And my thoughts are clearer  Closer to balance as the end draws neare... Oh yeahh    I give you everythign just for a while  You got the best of me this is my time  The seed I've been given, Hallelujah  To grow my ambitions high  All you people of the western land  Is it so hard to smile and lend a helping hand  Open your hearts it can be simple  If you just show what you feel  Go look for something real    You can call me a peace warrior  A dark soul of light  I sing for the future  And the melody is my guide  Sailing the waters  Of this endless lullaby  My ship is leaking  Can't stop it if I try... Ohh    They tried to put me down  And it struck me hard  I used to turn the other cheek  Till they pushed me too far  Now I'm right on target  And my thoughts are clearer  Closer to harmony as my love feels nearer    I give you everythign just for a while  You got the best of me this is my time  The seed I've been given, Hallelujah  To grow my ambitions high  All you people of the western land  Is it so hard to smile and lend a helping hand  Open your hearts it can be simple  If you just know what you feel  Go look for something real
