I asked the madman to say a prayer for me
He asked if I believed that stars could speak
In words that here and now
Or much later
Will hold my heart complete, so fast against the wind

I wonder how love can find this place
He answered, “Now you tell me, tell me and I’ll pray for your grace”

I’m living in a world, alive among the ghosts and walking dead
Yeah, and I’m reaching back for more
I’m looking back at more than what lies ahead

Sometimes a stranger in a mirror appears
Afraid to be alone, he’s waiting for a sign
A message in the clear
Ah, memory is such a painter
From present sharp to fade, from cradle to the grave

I’m different now, will love still feel the same
It’s funny how everyone knows this pain

I’m living in a world, alive among the ghosts and walking dead
Yeah, and I’m reaching back for more
I’m looking back at more than what lies ahead
Alone together in this world, we make a leap every now and then
Still I’m reaching back for more, I’m wanting so much more
Than what lies ahead

From dark to light, I’ll walk that sacred mile again
Though it’s hidden from my sight, help me to remember

Living in a world, alive among the ghosts and walking dead
I’m reaching back for more than what lies ahead
Still I’m reaching back for more
I’m wanting so much more…What lies ahead
