Strange face, with your eyes
So pale and sincere.
Underneath you know well

You have nothing to fear.
For the dreams that came to you when so young
Told of a life

Where spring is sprung.

You would seem so frail

In the cold of the night
When the armies of emotion
Go out to fight.

But while the earth sinks to its grave
You sail to the sky
On the crest of a wave.


So forget this cruel world
Where I belong

I'll just sit and wait
And sing my song.
And if one day you should see me in the crowd

Lend a hand and lift me
