Lyric

There was a time I longed to be set free

To feast on life and dance without a care

The kind of dream that youth alone can see

A blessed life with fortune in the air

But my very soul could not be satisfied

For what I was born, what I can bring to life

I had to know the meaning of my own existence

If I can leave a scar upon this world

I want to gather every smile that I can find

If my name is etched in memory, "I'm glad you were around"

There is no greater joy I'll ever see

I will use this power righteously and true

To be a tiny piece of the light of the world, shining through

There was a time I thought I'd walk that way

To build a home and watch my family grow

The path that every grown-up seems to take

A life confined by what we've seen before

But my very soul could not be satisfied

For what I was born, and what I must pursue

I sought the blueprint of the life I knew

Before the day my spirit flew

If I should bare my fangs against this world

It’s only to protect one fragile soul from hurt

If my name is etched in memory, “I'm glad you were around”

There is no greater joy I'll ever see

I will use this power righteously and true

To be a tiny piece of the light of the world, shining through

If I should roar my voice across this world

I want to tell a million souls "I love you," pure and bold

If my final thought is, "This is what I was born to be"

There is no greater joy I'll ever see

I will wield this power faithful and strong

A fragment of the light that guides us on

I will carry this power gentle and bright

A spark of endless fire breaking night
