Meanwhile
You've changed the world around youIs it better now?No starving anymoreHey, is it better now?Your helpless little fingersThey've never been as calm as nowYour trembling is overIt's better now
If there was a light in the darkI would try to wake you upCould I look into your eyesWhile another baby criesForgive me
I see the children in the playfieldYou had to leave your placeYour silent accusationThey took away your faceYour little life was overbefore it ever had begunYour little wings were brokenYou've never reached the sun
If there was a light in the darkI would try to wake you upCould I look into your eyesWould you take my alibisForgive me
Ev'rybody knows itRepression is the wayYou're not the child next doorYou're much too far away
But there's no light in the darkSo I won't try to wake you upI couldn't look into your eyesIn this world of alibisForgive me
