And now I stand, forsaking pride 
The time has come to turn
The tide I've drawn the line
I've built my wall And I won't let
One more dream fall
All days of innocence
I surrendered long ago
Where's the wind that takes me higher
The had that offers peace 
The heart that still gives shelter
I want to go back to find 
The innocent days that I left behind
I still believe they're holding ground 
Behind the battle lines
If it takes a million miles over land and sea 
Gonna swim in
The rivers of purity I know they still run free
Behind the battle lines
One more mountain I must climb
I've scaled so many in my time 
And if the sun goes down on me
The light of truth will help me see
All days of innocence, I surrendered long ago
Where's the voice that speaks of mercy 
The eyes that are not blind 
The love that's never ending
A vision of eternity Oh, Lord! 
Never take the dream from me
Here I am, standing at the edge of destiny
