[EXT. Ravenskill Park - Day]
[Gabriel]
I don't pretend to have the answer
Never said I held the key
But somehow they see a light inside of me
Am I not the man who I was meant to be?
As the people gather round me
I never felt so all alone
Is this the chance to be someone?
My moment in the sun
Why am I afraid of facing the unknown?
They are finding faith in me and they believe I'm the one to set them free
