MEANWHILE
You've changed the world
around you
Is it better now?
No starving anymore
Is it better now?
Your helpless little fingers
They've never been
as calm as now
Your trembling is over
it's better now
If there was a light
in the dark
I would try to wake you up
could I look into your eyes
while another baby cries
Forgive me
I see the children in the playfield
You had to leave your place
Your silent accusation
they took away your face
Your little life was over
before it ever had begun
Your little wings were broken
You never reach the sun
If there was a light
in the dark
I would try to wake you up
could I look into your eyes
would you take
my alibis
- forgive me
Everybody knows it
Repression is the way
You're not the child next door
You're much too far away
But there's no light
- in the dark
so I won't try
to wake you up
I couldn't look
into your eyes
in this world of alibis
forgive me
