The Destination Onward

Fates Warning

Compositor: Jim Matheos / Ray Alder

It's been long since I've been home
And like a dream these thoughts return to me
Remember how it felt although
I forget the names and faces are strangers now

It's been hard since I've been gone
Watching from afar and growing further upward
I am here to let you know
I'm aware of the days and now it's time to go home

I've stayed the path
One that I understand where I am
Ignored the cages set before
And chose the life that I was offered

The page forever altered, songs left unsung
The destination onward is still unknown

Outside the world keeps turning 'round
(I give everything I have)
Inside the rain is crashing down
(I give everything now)

I gave everything I have

Play innocent
Acting indifferent when it ends
The world's a stage we play our parts
Then take our exit with heavy hearts

The page forever altered, songs left unsung
The destination onward is still unknown

Outside the world keeps turning 'round
(I give everything I have)
Inside the rain is crashing down
(I give everything now)
Sometimes we have to face things alone
(I give everything I have)
The miles of highways stretching
Are unrelenting, separating us (I give everything now)

Now words are phrased
Between ones and zeros
And our late, what is it?
Is it destiny, a destiny we follow?

Are we blind, chasing time
With regrets and sorrow?
Now the road draws me back
Home will have to wait
Embrace the time we borrow

Outside the world keeps turning 'round
(I give everything I have)
Inside the rain is crashing down
(I give everything now)
Sometimes we have to face things alone
(I give everything I have)
The miles of highways stretching
Are unrelenting, separating us (everything now)
