Begin again lyrics - Dream Theater song

I gave up hope
Was dead inside
Stayed lost within a world I chose to hide
Then I found my faith in him
And now I can
Begin again
I once believed

Our fate was sealed
But now at last, the truth has been revealed
In an instant
Life could change
And now and then begin again
I know that I am meant for something more

That life beyond these walls
Has greater things in store
When I heard his voice, I realized

I'd never be the same
Instantly I knew my life had changed
I dream of peace

Above all else
To share a world where we could be ourselves
We must learn to rise above the past
Before we can at last
Begin again
