Lyrics
1. REFLECTIONS OF MY YOUTH, I WAS SEARCHING FOR THE TRUTH
NEVER KNOWING RIGHT FROM WRONG, ONLY WANTING TO BE STRONG
ALL I WANTED TO BE WAS NEVER EVER MEANT TO BE
ALL I WANTED TO SEE BECAME MY FANTASY
2. NIGHTIME TURNED TO DAY, MY FEELINGS WENT AWAY
ADDICTIONS BECAME MY WAY, I THINK I?LL JUST GO AWAY
ALL I WANTED TO BE WAS NEVER EVER MEANT TO BE
ALL I WANTED TO SEE BECAME MY FANTASY
BUT THE PATH BECAME CLEAR TO ME, I FINALLY SAW THE LIGHT
NO MORE LONELY MOMENTS, NO MORE SLEEPLESS NIGHTS
GONE IS PAIN AND SUFFERING, I FINALLY CAN BE FREE
WALKING THE EDGE TO ETERNITY
3. FINALLY, I WAS SET FREE, BY A NEW REALITY
SUDDENLY IT MADE SENSE TO ME, AT LAST, ETERNALLY.
ALL I WANTED TO BE WAS FINALLY MEANT TO BE
ALL I WANTED TO SEE BECAME MY REALITY
WALKING THE EDGE I CAN SEE
