I remember the times when I was a child And the world was full of grace The wind would whisper of miracles And a secret magic place But the sun went down and the first night fell Like a shadow upon my life And though all the colours slowly turned to grey I never lost my faith In the spirit of the dawn In the twilight of your soul There's a voice that guides me home To the spirit of the dawn For all the pain in my heart All the bruises and scars I'll become the one I was In the spirit of the dawn And here I'm wandering through a city of sin With the creatures of the night And we shared the suffering and the tears And the war machines are roaring loud In this neverending fight And in a world of broken promises With a sky that's cracked Ripped and torn We'll die just to be reborn In the spirit of the dawn In the twilight of your soul There's a voice that calls me home To the spirit of the dawn For all the pain in my heart All the bruises and scars I'll become the one I was In the spirit of the dawn And I will never lose my faith In the truth behind my prayers I keep searching for the desert rain 'cause I know that it will wash away my pain
