Dream Theater
Chosen
In Gabriel’s hideout. Nighttime

[Verse: Gabriel]
Her words ring true, her message clear
How can he hear through all the noise and dissonance?
I’ve seen a sign that he can change
If given just a chance

Against all hope we found a way
And it is all because she trusted me
Why have a gift you can’t embrace
When all you need is faith?

[Chorus 1: Gabriel]
And there’s a reason, now I see
The reason I’ve been chosen
She sees the light inside of me
A reason to believe

[Post-Chorus: Gabriel]
But I can’t climb this mountain without you
No, I can’t face this on my own
With you by my side, we will open his eyes
And the truth will deliver us home

[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus 2: Gabriel]
And there’s a reason, now I see
The path that he has chosen
He fears the light inside of me

[Post-Chorus: Gabriel]
In the absence of song
He’s forgotten right from wrong
Our voices will release him
He’s refused to listen for too long

I’m convinced beyond a doubt
There can be no other way
He just has to hear me out
There’s so much I need to say

[Outro: Gabriel]
But I can’t climb this mountain without you
No, I can’t face this on my own
With you by my side, we will open his eyes
And the truth will deliver us home
