[Verse 1]
One precious moment in a state of grace
Send the mantra to an endless night
Feel the glow, feel the peace of mind
True perfection in one true light
Pathways in my mind that lead to nowhere
Promises of happiness that leave me wanting more
When my desire becomes a nightmare
Feel paranoia about what I am wishing for
If I could just let go of who I think I am
Surrender to the silence, help me understand

[Chorus]
There is no beginning, there is no end
There is no self, no fortress to defend
An endless circle beyond space and time
It is the chain of love that binds me
The chain of love defines me
Chain, chain, chain, chain of love

[Verse 2]
Voices in my head that try to rule me
I have found a place where I cannot hear them anymore
My own illusions come to fool me
Lost in emotions that I have never touched before
If I could get beyond what's in my mind
Free my spirit, leave the world behind

[Chorus]
There's no beginning, there's no end
There is no self, no fortress to defend
An endless circle beyond space and time
It's the chain of love that binds me
The chain of love defines me
Chain, chain, chain, chain of love

[Verse 3]
One precious moment in a state of grace
Send the mantra to an endless night
Feel the glow, feel the peace of mind
True perfection in one true light

[Chorus]
There's no beginning, there's no end
There is no self, no fortress to defend
An endless circle beyond space and time
It's the chain of love that binds me
The chain of love defines me
Chain, chain, chain, chain of love

Journey is an American rock band that formed in San Francisco in 1973, composed of former members of Santana and Frumious Bandersnatch. The band has gone through several phases; its strongest commercial success occurred while fronted by vocalist Steve Perry, from 1978 until the group’s disbandment in 1987. During that period, the band released a series of hit songs, including 1981’s “Don’t Stop Believin'”, which in 2009 became the top-selling track in iTunes history amongst songs not released in the 21st century. Its parent studio album, Escape, the band’s eighth and most successful, reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and yielded another of their most popular singles, “Open Arms”. Its 1983 follow-up album, Frontiers, was almost as successful in the United States, reaching No. 2 and spawning several successful singles; it broadened the band’s appeal in the United Kingdom, where it reached No. 6 on the UK Albums Chart. Journey enjoyed a successful reunion with Perry in the mid-1990s and later regrouped with a series of lead singers.
