    Story Behind the Song
    When Doug Empie began a jam session, based loosely on a debauched version of 'Comfortably Numb,' it evolved into what we have here. Bret Empie composed a bridge - on the spot - and Xyra, an entire melody line with lyrics she scrawled on a piece of paper, while belting them, simultaneously.

    The final product became a Near-Broadway Pop tune, conversely expressing deep, emotional meaning.

    Lyrics
    Up from the streets,
    Out of the darkness...
    You are my beacon,
    In the Night and Day

    In the twilight, you are the treasure I find...
    You take my demons away...
    Always, and in every way

    Chorus:
    Only, only
    You always will be one with me
    Only, only
    You always will be one with me

    ________________________________BREAK

    Repeat chorus...


    Up from the streets,
    Out of the darkness...
    You are my beacon,
    In the Night and Day

    In the twilight, you are the treasure I find...
    You take my demons away...
    Always, and in every way

    Chorus:
    Only, only
    You always will be one with me
    Only, only
    You always will be one with me

    Repeat... last two lines of chorus, at end
