A Life Left Behind - Dream Theater

I never knew

Someone was out there

A long way from nowhere

Who could open my eyes

All of this time

While I was sleeping

The world changed around me

Now I’ve never felt more alive

I’m waking up

From a life left behind

To see what lies ahead

I’m waking up…

Fate found a way

To bring them together

Once and forever

And won’t let them go

Nothing I say

Can keep her from leaving

Her life has new meaning

I lost her a long time ago

I’m waking up

From a life left behind

To see what lies ahead

I’m waking up

I’m waking up

Now that yesterday’s gone

Won’t close my eyes again

I’m waking up

I’ll plan to return well-disguised

Make sure that I’m not recognized

Tomorrow, a new sun will rise

And somehow I’ll find you

Nothing will stand in my way

Soon I will see you again

I’m waking up

From a life left behind

To see what lies ahead

I’m waking up

I’m waking up

Now that yesterday’s gone

I will never look back

I’m waking up

You’ll be her shadow as she moves, my son

But she can never know you’re there

She is alone and rebel guards are everywhere

I’ll keep her safe from all danger

Won’t let her out of my sight

Did I fail to mention my honest intentions?

This is the chance I deserve

Heed my words justice will be served
