The weary world is waiting for ambition to be played
Now young and not afraid
I've gotta challenge every challenge that I know
For I am just a sailor on a ship across the land
Let me hold your hand
To bid farewell, so I can knuckle to my knees

But I'll be back again, no matter where I go
For it's only love that frees the fire for burning
And I'll take you in my arms and tell you all I know
As I sing the changing songs of my returning

My drifting days prepare me to do battle with the night
A phantom of the fight
I've gotta conquer all the courage of my fears
The answer lies in limbo, and the harvest will be hard
But sacred are the stars
That leave their mark upon the fast dissolving years

Yes, I'll be back again, no matter where I've been
For it's only love that frees the fire for burning
And I'll take you in my arms and tell you all I know
As I sing the growing songs of my returning

Time must have her victory, it's that I've always known
But I've won or lost alone
And when a voice calls out, "There's someone you should meet"
With every strength remaining, I will suffer one more scene
I'll gather all my dreams
And with my final breath, I'll lay them at your feet
Yes, I'll be back again, no matter where I've been
For it's only love that frees the fire for burning
And I'll take you in my arms and tell you all I know
As I sing the final song of my returning
