"I have sinned dear father, father I have sinned
Try and help me, father, won't you let me in?"
Trying to be simple, beat himself and win,
Trying to be perfect, don't know where to begin;
"Water babies singing in a lily-pool delight,
Blue powder monkeys playing in the dead of night"
Words with simple meaning, confuse with beauty's might,
Words of no forgiveness to those who truly lied;
"I am forever searching high and low,
But why does everybody tell me no?"
Denial and rejection of his glow,
Inevitable fear of every show;
"Open your eyes,
Look up to the skies"
Watch how he dies -
So many goodbye's...
"Now I am sad, you are so far away
I sit counting the hours day by day"
Those mem'ries of good times can stay,
Inspire a new song to play;
"Are you going to take me home tonight?
Ah, down beside the red fire light?"
Show the way to places not in sight,
Oh, I think I never felt so right;
"Open up your mind, and let me inside,
Rest your weary head, and let your heart decide",
Knowing every feeling of a heart that cried,
Playing hard-to-get, and then those words recite...
"I don't want to live if there's no place to hide
Mama please, let me back inside"
Until his last, he bravely continued to stride
He knew... He knew the future... He knew the way he died.
