(Lyrics for Antero)
He’s just a boy, lost to the world
With a heart, empty with no soul
Drifting aimlessly with the wind
Wonderin’ how, wonderin’ where to begin
Like a candle brightening an empty room
No destiny, no purpose in mind
(And he’s) Searching for a beacon along the way
To lead and guide him through life’s pain
Bridge
And maybe, just maybe, he’ll make it out
Perhaps (one day) when he’s had enough
Chorus
Maybe one day he’ll turn to the next page
The light will shine the way
Leave it all behind and he will stay away
Wishing that someone would care
– guitar solo –
He makes a wish, hope against hope
For that someone who’ll light his way
For some meaning, reason to go on
He’s been long lost, inside a fool’s paradise
Something tells him he’s not alone
Where there’s a will, there’s a way
There’s no choice, maybe no way out
But he must toil to the end
Bridge
Wondering’ if there’s someone who cares
Chorus
He makes a wish, hope against hope
For that someone who’ll light his way
For some meaning, reason to go on
He’s been long lost, inside a fool’s paradise
– Repeat Chorus –
