I remember the times when i was a child
And the world was full of grace
The wind would whisper of miracles
And a secret magic place
But the sun went down and the first night fell
Like a shadow upon my life
And though all the colours slowly turned to grey
I never lost my faith

In the spirit of the dawn
In the twilight of your soul
There's a voice that guides me home
To the spirit of the dawn

For all the pain in my heart
All the bruises and scars
I'll become the one I was
In the spirit of the dawn

And here I'm wandering through a city of sin
With the creatures of the night
And we shared the suffering and the tears
And the war machines are roaring loud
In this neverending fight
And in a world of broken promises
With a sky that's cracked
Ripped and torn
We'll die just to be reborn

In the spirit of the dawn
In the twilight of your soul
There's a voice that calls me home
To the spirit of the dawn

For all the pain in my heart
All the bruises and scars
I'll become the one i was
In the spirit of the dawn

And i will never lose my faith
In the truth behind my prayers
I keep searching for the desert rain
'cause i know that it will wash away my pain
