When I was very young
So many songs were sung
So much wasted time
On an uphill climb

But you were always there
A feeling in the air
There was nothing to fear
You were so near
Now you are here once again

As I stand in your presence
I can feel
The quiet patience of your gaze
Like an old superstition
You are haunting
All my dreams and waking days

All my life
I knew you were waiting
Revelation, anticipating
All is well, the searching is over
Let the truth be known
Let it be shown

There's no resisting you
Among the chosen few
It's so hard to be sure
It's so hard to endure

And when I hear your voice
I know, I have the choice
To pursue an ideal
Something so real

Now I've got nothing to lose
As I see your reflection
All the answers
I desire become so clear
Like a page that is turning
I can look into the future without fear

All my life
I knew you were waiting
Revelation, anticipating
All is well, the searching is over
Let the truth be known
Let it be shown

You're in my rock 'n' roll
You're in my very soul
Though it's heavy to bear
It's a feeling so rare

And it's a mystery
The way it's meant to be
Can we ever know?
We're moving so slow

There ain't enough time in the world
As I reach up this ladder
There is something ever higher to perceive
Like a fire that is burning
In my heart, I know
I surely must believe

All my life
I knew you were waiting
Revelation, anticipating
All is well, the searching is over
Let the truth be known
Let it be shown
Please give me a glimpse of home
