This is where I first knew that I finally found a home
Such beauty, old and new, So many streets where I could roam
Now so empty, No more beauty, hope, nor life
Where has it all gone, all those dreams and all that light?

This was all I ever knew, so true and real to me
Every dream I dared to dream wasFull of light, Full of hope, for a life so free

Now it's all gone, so now I must go on
Though never the same
There was once so much to show,
Now this heartache is all I know

I still can hear the soundsof friends, lovers, strolling around
Living life without a care hopes and dreams completely unbound

There was a statue, right beside the great collonade
Now, only ruins. All those memories begin to fade

This was all I ever knew, so true and real to me
Every dream I dared to dream was
Full of light, full of hope, full of life so free

Now it's all gone, so now I must go on
Though never the same
There was once so much to show
Now this heartache is all I know

So much beauty, old and new
All those dreams that won't come true
And I know that life goes on, though a part of me is gone.
Every step I take will bring me to where I belong
I can't go back again, I know this is the end
What is lost is gone and will never come back again

Once, this was all I knew,So beautiful and true
And oh so true to me
Every dream I ever dared to dream was full of light. Full of hope for a life so free

Now it's all gone. Somehow life must go on though nerve the same
There was once so much to show,
Now this heartache he is all I know.
