Meridian 65 – The Gate lyrics

The Gate

As a boy I saw no life beyond my walls
and every hope I had was challenged by the sword
Baptized in fear and judged I gave myself away
but in my dreams were visions of another place

And here you sit before me quite beside yourself
infected by the thoughts I'd come to know so weel
I can tell you that those dreams you've kept inside
hold the magic and the meaning of your life

Chorus:
Go find your reason, find the life that is your truth
you'll feel the passion, whether skies are gray or blue
You have the answer, there's so much more than what you've seen
and ever after, and it lies beyond the gate of your own mind

It took so long to see and finally turn the page
I'd won and lost so much but nothing ever changed
And there was promise in the words I once condemned
it's in the faith I claim to have that I'll live again

And though there may be times when you'll feel like giving up
there's nothing stronger than the power of my love
I'll hold you closely even when I'm nowhere near
and if you listen close, the only words you'll hear

Chorus repeat
solo
The choice is simple, give your soul to someone else
or live your purpose, and finally wear the dream yourself
It always matters when your heart is on the line
you'll take some chances but you'll have to search to find...

Chorus
