I was chasing down the days of fear Chasing down a dream before it disappeared I was aching to be somewhere near Your voice was all I heard I was shaking from a storm in me Haunted by the spectres that we had to see Yeah, I wanted to be the melody Above the noise, above the hurt I was young, not dumb Just wishing to be blinded By you, brand new And we were pilgrims on our way I woke up at the moment When the miracle occurred Heard a song that made some sense Out of the world Everything I ever lost Now has been returned In the most beautiful sound I'd ever heard We got language so we can't communicate Religion so I can love and hate Music so I can exaggerate my pain And give it a name I was young, not dumb Just wishing to be blinded By you, brand new And we were pilgrims on our way I woke up at the moment When the miracle occurred Heard a song that made some sense Out of the world Everything I ever lost Now has been returned In the most beautiful sound I'd ever heard We can hear you, hear you We can year you We can hear you, hear you I woke up at the moment When the miracle occurred I get so many things I don't deserve All the stolen voices Will someday be returned The most beautiful sound I'd ever heard Your voices will be heard Your voices will be heard
