Before me plays the endless film
 Relentless splinters I recall
 Each living thing breathes life
 Only sentiment remains
 To liquid born, from patterns formed
 The sand descends with blind intent
 Where the river takes me will in time be revealed
 ♪
 I cannot turn my feelings down
 Beyond my means to turn my thoughts around
 Expressed in every word I'll ever speak
 Brighter than all the stars combined
 More than the waters, earth, and sky
 All that I wish and all that I dream
 
 Above the waves with my hands raised
 Dare the wind, lay claim to me
 Knowing somehow none could take me
 Watching the sun come up in vain
 The only reason I can find why I remained
 The need to leave the point I came to again and again
 It didn't matter how hard I tried
 It took so long to claim that I knew how
 Or what it meant to let go of this
 To ever say goodbye
 Call it destiny, call it fate
 Chose my direction: running forward
 Each life to learn anew whatever, whatever may come
 ♪
 I cannot turn my feelings down
 Beyond my means to turn my thoughts around
 Expressed in every word I'll ever speak
 Brighter than all the stars combined
 More than the waters, earth and sky
 All that I wish and all that I dream
 No creed on earth can replace or provide
 In my darkest hour, the comfort I'd feel
 Leading me to see I can be more than I expect of me
 My beginning and my end
 The first and last air that I breathe
 More than the sum of everything that I will ever be
