Beginning of the end

As I walk on clouds of splendor The brightest one appears Amongst the angels and the wise I have seen what comes to pass I've seen for many years The dust still burning in my eyes Now I need a reason I need to know the truth Why is this the only way Come the change of season I just need some proof That it wasn't all in vain Here I see the holy kingdom As all they praise Thy name Is this the meaning of all life? Give me strength to face the troubles That need lie ahead Behold the beginning of the end Now I need a reason I need to know the truth Why is this the only way Come the change of season I just need some proof That it wasn't all in vain The book of life opens before me all wide The sorrows beginning, I'm in for the ride The angels are singing as the fly away There's no need to fear there is no need to hide In this frail existence we're just passing by There is no tomorrow, there is no today Now I need a reason I need to know the truth Why is this the only way Come the change of season I just need some proof That it wasn't all in vain Now I need a reason I need to know the truth Why is this the only way Come the change of season I just need some proof That it wasn't all in vain
