The carousel begins to slow, I take my chances So far removed, I fail to see The recklessness I've shown in all my words and deeds The good in other souls I never fail to see Can you see the light As far as the eyes can see From this point above the world Where mortals dare their destiny As it radiates, may I witness open-eyed Let me remain where there is light In want of courage It is a shield for me In want of hope It reassures and carries me As it radiates, may I witness open-eyed Let me remain where there is light Letting go was never easy Risking all for what I wanted, never needed Deliberated whether I should serve the cause of greater things As we moved worlds apart Can you see the light As far as the eyes can see From this point above the world Where mortals dare their destiny As it radiates, may I witness open-eyed Let me remain where there is light The greatest words would still fail me now These emotions I cannot describe I want to be where I don't need to hide myself And remain there until the end of time The gods play games with mortal hearts As the carousel goes 'round As I looked on, I saw the crowds who gathered walk away Can you see the light As far as the eyes can see From this point above the world Where mortals dare their destiny As it radiates, may I witness open-eyed Let me remain where there is light In want of courage It is a shield for me In want of hope It reassures and carries me As it radiates, may I witness open-eyed Let me remain where there is light
