[Verse 1] I woke to the sound of a thousand bells Drifting far from the mirrors and the spells Gone was the pain and the hollow disguise Brightest stars were shining in my eyes [Pre-Chorus] Golden gates, they opened wide With tortured faith, I stepped inside [Chorus] It's been a while, my friend What took me so long? Years of longing I couldn't mend But here we are, where we belong [Verse 2] I used to think I would never get here Back to home, but now I cry happy tears This fractured soul somehow has made it through As I ride the clouds in the sky so blue [Pre-Chorus] Golden gates, they opened wide With tortured faith, I stepped inside [Chorus] It's been a while, my friend What took me so long? Years of longing I couldn't mend But here we are, where we belong [Bridge] Mama, I'm here, we're together again I didn't have the chance to say goodbye What a fool I was, lost in my refrain But now you're here by my side, as we fly [Instrumental Outro]
