Return to India - Xandria

Sun rays touching my skin like a stream of gold

Beauty, fame and wealth smell nice on top of the world

Made my day, this day made me the blessed one

My achievements will shine bright when all the smoke is gone

All those years and with all my heart

Reaching out for what would broaden my horizon

Perpetual striving made my life complete

And now that I reached new dimensions

I wonder why, I wonder why

There’s still something in my head, I fail to explain

Falling deep into this void, only silence to remain

Sheer enlightenment of the soul, that’s what I hoped to find

Reduced to instincts, I’ve to see, there will be no peace of mind

Left behind the ghosts I knew so well

Stepped into the light, into a new beginning

But can it be, I miss their company

Need their guidance and advice to define the inner me

Where’s my dream of India?

Dead-end street to India

Been so close and yet so far

No return to India

Expectations once so high now seem down and low

They once sent shivers down my spine

Now make me tremble in my bones

Where’s the dream that made me be, made me carry on?

Gave my longing for an end just to find that nothing’s won

Means to an end, we’re dedicated to

Might set an end to all those means we have to offer

I can’t escape from this lifelong dream, I’m a captive of its shadows

Awaken, end to all sleep

Where’s my dream of India?

Dead-end street to India

Been so close and yet so far

No return to India

Means to an end, we’re dedicated to

Might set an end to all those means we have to offer

I can’t escape from this lifelong dream, I’m a captive of its shadows

Awaken, end to all sleep

Where’s my dream of India?

Dead-end street to India

Been so close and yet so far

Give me back my India

Once we have reached our destiny, we understand

That it is different from the dearest wishes at the beginning

It is much deeper, broader, sometimes greater

Either we understand or we sail on and on and on
