The Neal Morse Band - Alive Again lyrics
[The Neal Morse Band - Alive Again lyrics]
You called me forth amid the waves
And wayward waters
That kind of trust I've never found
I always wind up sinking down
Was I really dead
And at the bottom of the ocean?
Stay the course I heard you say
But all I saw was the long way down
Now I feel like I’m alive again
Spread my arms upon the open wind
Yeah, I feel like I'm alive again
Crashing waves like breath upon my skin
The wounded warrior has no temporary shelter
Chasing down an enemy
That always lurked inside of me
Finally he killed
What he had come to think his quarry
The man whose heart was like the sea
Was gone and he would never be found
Now I feel like I'm alive again
Spread my arms upon the open wind
Yeah, I feel like I’m alive again
Never looking back to where I've been
I can see the light burning in my soul
I can see the light i know that I must go
The king of surprise in the boredom queen
Went out to dine at the bottom line
Drinking blood red wine
The jack of all trades
And the master of none
Set out to get back at most everyone
It's not too late to get free
There's something more you used to see
Get back to where you used to be
Fly away lost in the place I'm dreaming
I wanna hideaway gone forever
Flyaway far from the silent screaming
I wanna hideaway gone forever
Daughters of angst and wretched rage
Pulled a sword from the stone like Al Capone
As the king of pain goes insane
Where the Pope of Rome
Meets the pope at home
And the nicotine stain goes unexplained
Fly away lost in the place I'm dreaming
I wanna hideaway where I can't remember
Flyaway far from the silent screaming
I'm gonna hideaway gone forever
Locks on a box holding inside
Face in a mirror seems to disguise
The boy at the door who I was before
Is more than I’ll ever be
The sun kissed the day i was well on my way
I’d love to just love you
But I've no time today the man that I saw
Who could stand on the sea
Was more than I’d ever be
Sometimes in the dark night of my soul
In the corner of my life
I see the man inside
Morning again the sun shining in
The boy from the sad side no chance to win
Has walked through the door
To something much more more than I'd ever be
Sometimes in the dark night of my soul
From the corner of my life
I see the man inside
Now I find he is making my dreams alive
In the brightness of my day
I can see the man inside
The wounded warrior
With no temporary shelter
Had lost the will to stand and fight
To the enemy that lives inside
Now he's on the run
Because the King of angel armies
Has come to bring the dead to life
And quench the darkness with the light
Now I feel like I'm alive again
Stretch my arms upon the open wind
Yeah, I feel like I’m alive again
Never going back to where I've been
I can see the light burning in my soul
I can see the light i know that I must go
I must go
And wayward waters
That kind of trust I've never found
I always wind up sinking down
Was I really dead
And at the bottom of the ocean?
Stay the course I heard you say
But all I saw was the long way down
Now I feel like I’m alive again
Spread my arms upon the open wind
Yeah, I feel like I'm alive again
Crashing waves like breath upon my skin
The wounded warrior has no temporary shelter
Chasing down an enemy
That always lurked inside of me
Finally he killed
What he had come to think his quarry
The man whose heart was like the sea
Was gone and he would never be found
Now I feel like I'm alive again
Spread my arms upon the open wind
Yeah, I feel like I’m alive again
Never looking back to where I've been
I can see the light burning in my soul
I can see the light i know that I must go
The king of surprise in the boredom queen
Went out to dine at the bottom line
