The weary world is waiting
  For ambition to be played
  Now young and not afraid
  I've got to challenge every challenge that I know
    For I am just a sailor
  On a ship across the land
  Let me hold your hand
  To bid farewell
  So I can knuckle to my knees
    But I'll be back again
  No matter where I go
  For it's only love
  That frees the fire for burning
  And I'll take you in my arms
  And tell you all I know
  As I sing the changing songs
  Of my returning
    My drifting days prepare me
  To do battle with the night
  Phantom of the fight
  I've got to conquer
  All the courage of my fears
    The answer lies in limbo
  And the harvest will be hard
  But sacred are the stars
  That leave their mark upon
  The fast dissolving years
    Yes I'll be back again
  No matter where I go
  For it's only love
  That frees the fire for burning
  And I'll take you in my arms
  And tell you all I know
  As I sing the growing songs of my returning
    Time must have her victory
  It's that I've always known
  But I've won or lost alone
  And when a voice calls out,
  "There's someone you should meet"
    With every strength remaining
  I will suffer one more scene
  I'll gather all my dreams
  And with my final breath
  I'll lay them at your feet
    Yes I'll be back again
  No matter where I go
  For it's only love
  That frees the fire for burning
  And I'll take you in my arms
  And tell you all I know
  As I sing the final song
  Of my returning
