MEANWHILE


You've changed the world around you
Is it better now
No starving anymore
Hey - 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've never reached the sun

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

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 alibies
Forgive me

Everybody knows it
Repression is the way
You're not the child next door
You're much too far away

If there's a light in the dark
I will try to wake you up
Can I look into your eyes
Will you
offer me your smile

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 alibies
Forgive me

So would you
Would you
Would you please
Forgive me

Would you
Would you
Would you
Would you
Forgive me
