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 I'll 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
A 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 I'll 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,
