Composer: Roger D. Linder
I dream at night
It's been revealed
Wade Brandywine is me
But now I fight
I'm ridiculed
When someone doesn't see
It was so long ago, I fear
It was the distant past
When me, as Wade, it was so clear
But now I'm just harassed
I didn't just wake to this thought
It wasn't like it's all for nought
It's something known my whole life through
It's something that I know is true
Why can't the prophecies unfold?
Why can't they just appear?
Why are the tales left untold?
Why are they left unclear?
Another life, another time
It really is my destiny
Why not when I was in my prime?
Consider it my infamy
The years have passed, and nothing yet
The heartache's there, I can't forget
Is it more than my mindset?
Will it all end with my regret?
