She was born down by the water
where the river meets the sea
they say it was a holy place
just made for raising southern girls
but for her it was a prison
that kept her from her dreams
lost behind those dark walls of old time tradition
she was looking for a reason
something to have faith in
now she gave away her innocence
to a blue-eyed boy in blue jeans
never asking for forgiveness
just looking for answer to her prayer
a destination from her boredom
that could free her from her fate
a quiet moment of distraction
that could carry, carry her heart away
she was looking for a reason
something to have faith in

(Chorus)
she's got secrets in her heart
that she doesn't want exposed
she's got memories in her past that
she'll never let you know
she's a lonely voyager
just chasing endless dreams
in a firestorm of pain
with nowhere left to hide
she's a lonely voyager
she's a lonely voyager

now she's headed for the bright lights
with her heartaches and her pride
caught in web of its confusion
with no savior by her side
she was blind to all its dangers
so she fell into a spell
and gave her grace to strangers
for a chance to paint the moon
she was looking for a reason
something to have faith in

(Chorus)

well her nights turned into cold days
with no love to warm her soul
never knowing what to look for
just wishing for a hero to hold her
tight but the jungle took its toll on her
and time stole all her youth
and left her just a broken angel
with no wings, no wings to fly away
she was looking for a reason
something to have faith in

(Chorus)
