I know, that's why I linked to the Dylan version.

A true classic, performed by one of the greats!! :salute

The lyrics are a little deep for most to comprehend  :headscratch:, but repeated listening will most certainly enlighten you to the heartfelt universal meaning of the words. :pray

It's beautiful man, just beautiful. :cry

Savatag's 'Believe' , part of 'Street: A Rock Opera' album.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0FawK4G_AY

part of the song:

...
Your childhood eyes
were so intense
While bartering your innocence
For bits of string
The grown-up wings
You needed

But when you had to add them up
You found that they
were not enough
To get you in
Pay for sins repeated

And for all the
years you borrowed
And for all the tears you cried
And for all the fears
you had to keep
inside

I am the way
I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
And in the dark I
hear your screams

Don't turn away
Just take my hand
And when you make
your final stand
I'll be right there
I'll never leave
And all I ask of you is
Believe

I never wanted to know
Never wanted to see
I wasted my time
Till Time wasted me

I never wanted to go
I always wanted to stay
'Cause the persons I am
Are the parts that I play
So I plot and I plan
And I hope and I scheme
To the lure of a night
Filled with unfinished dreams
And I'm holding on tight
To a world gone astray
As they charge me for years
I can't pay

...
