The Bigger Picture Lyrics - Dream Theater - Dream Theater

Long before the colors start to bleed 

I can see the painting come alive 

Clever like an angel in disguise 

Moving in and out of reach 

If the candle lights this crooked path 

Like a lighthouse peering through the haze 

I will find the river through the rain 

And I'll reach the water's edge 

Shed your light on me 

Be my eyes when I can't see 

Shed your light on me 

Be my guide so I can see 

The bigger picture

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Like a moth burned by the fire 

I'm driven to the flame 

(Prophecy's a blessing and a curse) 

I must bear this cross alone 

There's no one else to blame 

With each treasure found 

Another shipwreck's washed ashore 

I am carried by the current on a slow and steady course 

Shed your light on me 

Be my eyes when I can't see 

Shed your light on me 

Be my guide so I can see 

The bigger picture 

What if caught in a moment I get lost 

And can't find my way 

What if all along I was wrong 

At every turn 

In every way 

Photos 

Would you talk me off the ledge 

Or let me take the fall 

Better to try and fail than to never try at all 

You look but cannot see 

Talk but never speak 

You live but cannot breathe 

See but don't believe 

Wounds that never heal 

A heart that cannot feel 

A dream that's all too real 

A stare as cold as steel 

I've listened to the stories of resentment and disdain 

I've looked into the empty eyes of anger, fear, and shame 

I've taken blood from every stone 

And traveled every road 

When I see the distant lights illuminate the night 

Then I will know 

I am home
