Chris DeGarmo, Geoff Tate)
When I fell from grace
I never realized
how deep the flood was around me
A man whose life was toil was like a kettle left to boil,
and the water left scars on me
I know now who I am
If only for a while,
I recognize the changes
I feel like I did before the
magic wore thin and the "baptism
of stains" began
They used to say I was
nowhere, man,
heading down
was my destiny
But yesterday, I swear,
there was someone else not me
Here I stand at the crossroads edge,
afraid to reach out for eternity
One step, when I look down,
I see someone else not me
Looking back and I see
someone else
All my life they said I
was going down,
but I'm still standing,
stronger, proud
And today I know there's
so much more I can be
I think I finally understand
From where I stand at the crossroads edge
there's a path leading out to sea
And from somewhere
deep in my mind,
sirens sing out loud
songs of doubt
as only they knew how
But one glance back reminds, and I see
someone else not me
I keep looking back
at someone else me?
