Lyrics
your destiny brought you here
i'm going to keep telling you
till you feel all my pain
why am I walking
this journey alone
and when will I find the answers to set myself free
no good deeds go unfinished
but yet here I stand
dazed and confused
if you have the answers
then tell me or let me go
then maybe the winds of chance
might blow my way
I wonder what she meant
when she said
I should never forget
that love is the only angel
of survival
and now I know what she tried
to tell me
she was trying to set me free
but I couldn't see
and now it's a little too late
so I must journey on my way
oh so far away
