I've been down this road once or twice before
Through the open door
I come falling through it
There's a sign post up ahead
Like a watershed
And it opens my eyes
Ways, for me to begin
To be born again
And knowing for the first time
Ways, all so differently
Shine for me to see
The better man that I am
I've been places in my head
Behind me worse than what's ahead
And on my path just like a dream
Takes me from the in between
From out of nowhere you came strong as stone
And now I'll never have to be alone
What it is I know
You have always been my safe home
I walk, I run, I burn out into you
You have always been my safe home
My whole world has moved on
I know what I am and I'll always be
Your reality, is better than I could dream
All my fears turn from black to white
And I'd stand and fight
The whole world for you
Faith, and destiny
I never did believe
My only God is love and
Faith, what I see in you
And I can hold it true
Like a weight in my hand.
Through the open door
I come falling through it
There's a sign post up ahead
Like a watershed
And it opens my eyes
Ways, for me to begin
To be born again
And knowing for the first time
Ways, all so differently
Shine for me to see
The better man that I am
I've been places in my head
Behind me worse than what's ahead
And on my path just like a dream
Takes me from the in between
From out of nowhere you came strong as stone
And now I'll never have to be alone
What it is I know
You have always been my safe home
I walk, I run, I burn out into you
You have always been my safe home
My whole world has moved on
I know what I am and I'll always be
Your reality, is better than I could dream
All my fears turn from black to white
And I'd stand and fight
The whole world for you
Faith, and destiny
I never did believe
My only God is love and
Faith, what I see in you
And I can hold it true
Like a weight in my hand.

"There's a sign post up ahead
Like a watershed
And it opens my eyes"
-Makes me think of a person that you can trust, can help you out, and its obvious this person (Jesus, God?) is meant to be in your life.
"Ways . . . to be born again
And KNOWING for the first time
Ways, all so differently
Shine for me to see
The better man that I am"
-This part seems to emphasise my last idea, this person enlightens them, maybe in a mental, or spiritual sense.
Ways to be born again most likely means to start a new life; have your sins forgiven once you were enlightened to Jesus, or whoever.
"I've been places in my head
Behind me worse than what's ahead"
-So now, this person is thinking about their past, what theyve done or thought that was wrong, and "whats ahead" is saying now that theyve accepted Jesus, or found this new inspiration, their future looks bright.
"And on my path just like a dream
Takes me from the inbetween"
Now, the person is on the path to Heaven, via their accepting of Christ, and this path leads them between temptations and distractions of the world.
"From out of nowhere you came strong as stone
And now I'll never have to be alone"
-Here, the God appears to them straight forward in a time of dyer need, and will always be there to support them
"What it is I know
You have always been my safe home
I walk, I run, I burn out into you"
-The person is admitting that Jesus has always been with him, but he was unaware of it, and everything he does, Jesus knows, and he should serve Jesus in turn.(?)
"You have always been my safe home
My whole world has moved on"
Again, Jesus has always been there for them, but since he is aware of this, his life has turned around, and become a new person.
"I know what i am and I'll always be
Your reality, is better than I could dream"
The person is acknowledging their mortality and imperfections, and admitting that only God is perfect.
"All my fears turn from black to white
And i'd stand and fight
The whole world for you"
So, now this ties into how Jesus/God helps them understand his fears, which are important or not, and in turn this person is going to serve God and worship him for all that hes done.
"Faith, and destiny
I never did believe"
This person never believed in faith or destiny (going to Heaven) before he met God
"My only god is love and
Faith, what I see in you
And I can hold it true
Like a weight in my hand."
-I like this alot because it makes the analogy of object that has no material or physical value (faith) and compares it to a weight, something you can feel and touch. He's saying now that he believes in Jesus, his faith is real, and the mutual love is a product of this faith.
At least, this is how I interpret it.
Also, it could be about moving on from the death of a loved one and the memory/spirit of them is stronger than the physical being.
Eh, either way, a great song. Crap video though, haha.
He explains what the song is about... Pretty straight forward.
Still great though...
