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, yeah

As I stand in your presence
I can feel quiet patience on your gaze
Like an old superstition
You are haunting all my dreams an' 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 and 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
