| Lyrics: | Chris DeGarmo, Geoff Tate)
When I fell from grace
I never realized
how
deep the flood was around me.
A man whose life was toil was like a kettle left to
boil,
and the water left scars on me.
I know now who I am.
If only for a
while,
I recognize the changes.
I feel like I did before the
magic wore thin
and the "baptism
of stains" began.
They used to say I was
nowhere,
man,
heading down
was my destiny.
But yesterday, I swear,
there was
someone else not me.
Here I stand at the crossroads edge,
afraid to reach out for
eternity.
One step, when I look down,
I see someone else not me.
Looking
back and I see
someone else.
All my life they said I
was going
down,
but I'm still standing,
stronger, proud.
And today I know
there's
so much more I can be.
I think I finally understand
From where I
stand at the crossroads edge
there's a path leading out to sea.
And from
somewhere
deep in my mind,
sirens sing out loud
songs of doubt
as
only they knew how.
But one glance back reminds, and I see
someone else not
me.
I keep looking back
at someone else . . . me?
