A WHILE AGO
I HEARD THE SOUND OF
CHILDREN´S LAUGHTER
NOW IT´S QUIET
SO I GUESS THEY LEFT THE PARK
THIS WOODEN BENCH
IS GETTING HARDER BY THE HOUR
THE SUN IS GOING DOWN
IT´S GETTING DARK
I REALISE I´M COLD
THE RAIN BEGINS TO POUR
AS I WATCH THE WINDOWS
ON THE SECOND FLOOR
THE LIGHTS ARE ON
IT´S TIME TO GO
IT´S TIME AT LAST
TO LET HIM KNOW
I BELIEVE IT WOULD BE FAIR TO SAY
YOU LOOK BEWILDERED
AND YOU WONDER WHY
I´M HERE TODAY
AND SO YOU SHOULD, I WOULD
WHEN I LEFT, I FELT
I´D HAD ENOUGH
BUT IN THE SHAPE AND FORM I
APPEAR NOW
I HAVE LEARNED TO COPE
AND LOVE AND HOPE
IS WHY I AM HERE NOW
AND NOW YOU SEE ANOTHER ME
I´VE BEEN RELOADED, YEAH
I´M FIRED UP, DON´T SHUT ME DOWN
I´M LIKE A DREAM WITHIN A DREAM
THAT´S BEEN DECODED
I´M FIRED UP, I´M HOT
DON´T SHUT ME DOWN
I´M NOT THE ONE YOU KNEW
I´M NOW AND THEN COMBINED
AND I´M ASKING YOU
TO HAVE AN OPEN MIND
I´M NOT THE SAME
THIS TIME AROUND
I´M FIRED UP, DON´T SHUT ME DOWN
WILL YOU LEAVE ME STANDING
IN THE HALL
OR LET ME ENTER
THE APARTMENT HASN´T
CHANGED AT ALL
I GOT TO SAY, I´M GLAD
ONCE THESE ROOMS
WERE WITNESS TO OUR LOVE
MY TANTRUMS AND INCREASING
FRUSTRATION
BUT I GO FROM MAD
TO NOT SO BAD
IN MY TRANSFORMATION
AND NOW YOU SEE ANOTHER ME
I´VE BEEN RELOADED, YEAH
I´M FIRED UP, DON´T SHUT ME DOWN
I´M LIKE A DREAM WITHIN A DREAM
THAT´S BEEN DECODED
I´M FIRED UP, I´M HOT
DON´T SHUT ME DOWN
I AM NOT THE ONE YOU KNEW
I´M NOW AND THEN COMBINED
AND I´M ASKING YOU
TO HAVE AN OPEN MIND
I´M NOT THE SAME
THIS TIME AROUND
I´M FIRED UP, DON´T SHUT ME DOWN
YOU ASKED ME NOT TO LEAVE
WELL, HERE I AM AGAIN
AND I LOVE YOU STILL
AND SO I WON´T PRETEND
I HAVE LEARNED TO COPE
AND LOVE AND HOPE
IS WHY I AM HERE NOW
