The light of day is fading
 
 To bid the darkness in
 
 When empty smiles can never hide the hollowness within
 
 My thoughts race by like the scene outside
 
 Through the windows of the train
 
 I could cover my eyes but never hide
 
 From the promises I made
 
  
  If I was a better man
 
 Or a poor man or a king
 
 Would I have the strength to start again
 
 Walk the path that called to me
 
 Somewhere out there waiting
 
 Is a place where I'll know peace
 
 Calling out and beckoning
 
 Be I a poor man or a king
  
 
 The station long departed
 
 My fate entrusted to the rails
 
 No certain destination
 
 Except the life I'll hope to make
 
 But were the choice presented
 
 Couldn't relinquish or bequeath
 
 The walls I built around the truth
 
 I closely guard within
  
 
 If I was a better man
 
 Or a poor man or a king
 
 Would I have the strength to start again
 
 Walk the path that called to me
 
 Somewhere out there waiting
 
 Is a place where I'll know peace
 
 Calling out and beckoning
 
 Be I a poor man or a king
  
 
 Give me your hand
 
 Take your place here next to me
 
 Let us walk this road together
 
 No matter where it leads
 
 Put aside your burdens
 
 Put away your fears
 
 Or I'll carry them as I'd carry you
 
 Until the very end
  
 
 Somewhere out there waiting
 
 Is a place where we'd know peace
 
 That calls to us
 
 That beckons us
 
 The place where we'd be free
  
 
 Put aside your burdens
 
 Put away your fears
 
 I'd carry them as I'd carry you
 
 'Till the very end
  
 
 Put aside your burdens
 
 Put away your fears
 
 I'd carry them as I'd carry you
 
 Until the very end
  
 
 Somewhere out there waiting
 
 Is a place where we'd know peace
 
 Calling out and beckoning
 
 A place where we'd be free
