 I will dedicate  and
 sacrifice my every-thing
 For just  a seconds worth
 of how my story's  ending
 And I wish I could know
 if the directions that  I take
 And all the choices  that I make
 won't end up all  for nothing
 Show me what  it's for
 Make me understand it
 I've been crawling  in the dark
 Looking for  the answer
 Is there something more
 Than what I've  been handed?
 I've been crawling  in the dark
 Looking for  the answer
 Help me carry on
 Assure me its ok to
 Use my heart  and not my eyes
 To navigate  the darkness
 Will the ending be
 ever coming suddenly?
 Will I ever  get to
see  the ending to  my story?
 (Repeat Chorus)
D-E--D-E--D-E--D-E--G (x4)
 So when and how will I know?(know echo back)
 How much further
 do I have  to go?  (have to go)
 How much longer until I
finally know?  (finally know)
 Cause I'm looking and I just
 can't see  what's in front  of me
 In front  of me
 (Repeat Chorus)
