Title:
“Through the Maze”
Full song lyrics:
(Verse 1)
C#m A E B
Lost in a maze, don’t know where to turn,
Running out of time, still so much to learn.
Walking empty streets lit by the pale moonlight,
Hoping for a sign to end this endless night.
(Chorus)
G#m E B F#
Through the maze, I’m trying to find my way,
In this haze, I’m hoping for the break of day.
Through the maze, with every step I take,
I’m closer to the gates, no time for a break.
(Verse 2)
C#m A E B
Shadows dance on walls, like whispers in my ear,
The echo of your voice is all I long to hear.
In this labyrinth of lies, truth is hard to find,
But your memory is the compass of my mind.
(Chorus)
G#m E B F#
Through the maze, I’m searching for a sign,
In this daze, I’m reaching out for what was mine.
Through the maze, casting fears aside,
I’m poised at the gate, ready for the ride.
