| There was a time when we were
|
| As close as hearts can be
|
| Your pain and fear, your dreams and hopes
|
| All that you shared with me
|
| I was just a child back then
|
| As I grew up I had to see
|
| Not all those wishes that we have
|
| Become reality
|
| In all those years of doing nothing
|
| But killing time
|
| Having lost my faith, my strength, my power
|
| Was my hardest crime…
|
| I know that you tried hard to save me
|
| When I was about to drown
|
| But your way of trying to help me up
|
| In fact just dragged me down
|
| You’ve put me in a golden cage
|
| All luxuries we shared
|
| You hoped I would feel safe and warm
|
| But in fact I just felt scared
|
| After all those years of doing nothing
|
| But killing time
|
| In the end I felt like a prisoner
|
| Of my image you designed…
|
| In a moment of rage I broke out of that cage
|
| Spread my wings and found I could fly
|
| In a moment of pain I broke free from the chain
|
| Much too long I had lived a lie
|
| In the end I just had too much
|
| Of the getting in and out of touch
|
| Of all that moving forth and moving back again
|
| Men of steel turn into men of rust
|
| Before they either bite the dust
|
| Or simply run away if they still can… |
