Lyrics:

Chris DeGarmo, Geoff Tate)

Behind my eyes
I keep my truth from you.
No one enters
this secret place,
the barrier only I embrace
Time is fleeting now
they say.
Take time to look inside
and face ... the change.
Dig down deep
to find the man I thought I was.
A dog on the treadmill panting,
the master pulls the leash, laughing.
Now I can¹t remember why
I needed to run, needed to try so hard.

One more time around
is all I ask for now.
a star to steer by, wind to
take me home again.

³Work hard in life boy,
there¹s paradise in the end.²
Year after year we struggle to gain
the happiness our parents never claimed.
They told us all we had to do
was do what we¹re told, buy what was sold,
³Invest in gold, and never get old.²

One more time around
is all I ask for now,
a star to steer by, wind to
take me home again
