Lyrics Dream Theater – A Life Left Behind
Text:
Faythe:
I never knew
Someone was out there
A long way from nowhere
All of this time
While I was 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…
Arabelle:
Fate found a 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 new meaning
I lost her a long time ago
Faythe:
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’ll 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
Now that yesterday’s gone
I will never look back
I’m waking up
Arabelle:
You’ll be her shadow as she moves, my son
But she can never know you’re there
She is alone and rebel guards are everywhere
Daryus:
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
