lyrics

VI
Gosh it’s hard to replace
The innocence of a child
Hypnotized by the land
That was once shining bright

The weights of time broke apart
Put every bond in the fog
Blurry lights, a signs of time
Brought to you by the men in power.

CH | I stay way in the south / I stick right by the water

VII
Take me back to the basics
Oh youth speak to me again
I’m in a hurry, such a hurry
To find my identity

CH | I stay way in the south / I stick right by the water

VIII

Oh I’m so far from that place
Where my heart does operate
Yes I yearn to replace
the lies of men in power.
