A Life Left Behind

I never knew someone was out there A long way from nowhere Who could open my eyes All this time while I'm sleeping The world changed around me Now I've never felt more alive I'm waking up From a life left behind To see what lies ahead I'm waking up Fate found the way To bring them together Once and forever And won't let them go Nothing I say Can keep her from leaving Her life has a meaning I lost her a long time ago I'm waking up From a life left behind To see what lies ahead I'm waking up I'm waking up Now that yesterday's gone Won't close my eyes again I'm waking up I plan to return well-disguised Make sure that I'm not recognized Tomorrow a new sun will rise And somehow I'll find you Nothing will stand in my way Soon I will see you again I'm waking up From a life left behind To see what lies ahead I'm waking up I'm waking up (I'm waking up) Now that yesterday's gone (Now that yesterday's gone) I won't close my eyes (I will never look back) I'm waking up you'll be her shadow as she moves, my son But she can never know of it She is alone and rebels are everywhere I'll keep her safe from all danger Won't let her out of my sight Did I fail to mention my honest intentions? This is the chance I deserve Heed my words Justice will be served.
