A Life Left Behind Lyrics - The Astonishing - Dream Theater

I never knew someone was out there 

A long way from nowhere 

Who could open my eyes 

All this time while I'm sleeping 

The world changed around me 

Now I've never felt more alive 

I'm waking up 

From a life left behind 

To see what lies ahead 

I'm waking up 

Faythe found the way 

To bring them together 

Once and forever

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

And won't let them go 

Nothing I say 

Can keep her from leaving 

Her life has a meaning 

I lost her a long time ago 

I'm waking up 

From a life left behind 

To see what lies ahead 

I'm waking up 

I'm waking up 

Now that yesterday's gone 

Won't close my eyes again 

I'm waking up 

I plan to return well-disguised 

Make sure that I'm not recognized 

Tomorrow a new sun will rise 

And somehow I'll find you 

Photos 

Nothing will stand in my way 

Soon I will see you again 

I'm waking up 

From a life left behind 

To see what lies ahead 

I'm waking up 

I'm waking up 

(I'm waking up) 

Now that yesterday's gone 

(Now that yesterday's gone) 

I won't close my eyes 

(I will never look back) 

I'm waking up 

be her shadow as she moves, my son 

But she can never know of it 

She is alone and rebels are everywhere 

I'll keep her safe from all danger 

Won't let her out of my sight 

Did I fail to mention my honest intentions? 

This is the chance I deserve 

Heed my words 

Justice will be served.
