Hope Of A Lifetime Lyrics

There's a light that's shining now
And a calm wind in the pine
For the fate of a fearsome travesty
Seems to have forgotten me
Seems to have forgotten meIf it hasn't learned by now
Where I've hid so very long
I'll come safely out into the silence found
In the wake of its passing on
In the wake of its passing onA Spartan smile and westward stare hold a promise in the air
That's the way they used to find their own way home
By the stars, on their own
By the stars, on their ownWhile I pray for Promised Land
To replace all I have made
Darkness steals the light I bear
And the hope of a lifetime fades
The hope of a lifetime fadesIn the newfound reverie
Of quiet peace I found
Freedom comes from being unafraid

Of the heartache that can plague a man
The heartache that can plague a manA Spartan smile and westward stare hold a promise in the air
That's the way they used to find their own way home
By the stars, on their own
By the stars, on their own
