his soul begins to falter, his heart begins to break
and from the dream
he's long been dreaming
he now begins to wake.

his childish hands have changed and grown
all things to know
he now has known
and yet, as ever, he felt alone.
--

he weeps in the silence of his once foolish heart
he begins to understand the difficult part
that fate has handed him
and bound him again
for this is the time the game must begin.
--

his duty beckons, his destiny waits
he now turns his back upon heaven's gates.
let all darkness fall and chaos reign
he sees none of the danger,
feels none of the pain.
--

her face fills his mind, her voice tears at his heart
let destiny's wheels turn, let all play their parts.
it matters none.

all the world he would give up, and all gone before
-- only to have her and become human once more.

For Him.
