This Is Who You Are by Trans-Siberian Orchestra Lyrics
(At the end of this opus
From the future and the past
Fate watches the joy on the old man’s face
As he finally realized at last
That a man is not the sum total
Of the collection of his faults
The errors and mistakes from his past
He keeps carefully locked in vaults)
(BEETHOVEN)
Sometimes
Slowly
Time brings revelation
Waiting
Softly
For someone to believe
That the ghost we've hidden of left to die
Have now arisen and will arrive
To say what has happened
Say what has happened
Say what has happened
To me
And who would have thought
That you'd be the one
That I would have found here waiting
Lost in this night
Until you arrived
And always too blind to see
And who would have thought
That after this time
That I'd be the one you're saving
Now undisguised
The ghosts that survive
Now say what was meant to be
I never wanted to give my life away
Who ever thought it would matter any way
Wandering inside this night
Finding pieces of a life
Never sure I'd ever know what it means
It's the strangers in your life
That you'd never thought you'd meet
It's the hand that picked you up
When you're laying in the street
It's then hand that cut you down
It's the dream that someone shared
When you thought that all was lost
It's the friend that wasn't there
You can run from all the memories
But never get that far
For in the end they'll find you
For this is who you are
Change one note
Change one line
Nothing's going to be the same
Change one loss
Change one cut
Everything is rearranged
Every act
Cruel or kind
Lost inside our memory
If you look
There in time
You'll find it in
Find it in
Find it in
You'll find it in me
From the future and the past
Fate watches the joy on the old man’s face
As he finally realized at last
That a man is not the sum total
Of the collection of his faults
The errors and mistakes from his past
He keeps carefully locked in vaults)
