Dream Theater – The Answer

Lyrics
EXT. RAVENSKILL PARK - DAY
[Gabriel]
I don’t pretend to have the answers
Never said I held the key
But somehow they see
A light inside of me
Am I not the man who I was meant to be?
As the people gather ‘round me
I never felt so all alone
Is this the chance to be someone?
My moment in the sun?
Why am I afraid of facing the unknown?
They are finding faith in me
And they believe I’m the one
To set them free.
[Gabriel]
I don’t pretend to have the answers
Never said I held the key
But somehow they see
A light inside of me
Am I not the man who I was meant to be?
As the people gather ‘round me
I never felt so all alone
Is this the chance to be someone?
My moment in the sun?
Why am I afraid of facing the unknown?
They are finding faith in me
And they believe I’m the one
To set them free.
