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 me If 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 on A 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 While 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 fades In 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 man A 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
