I woke up and saw I was no longer young.
I saw a dull mark where once there was none.
The face in the mirror is not what I see
When I view myself from ninety degrees.
In my mind I see that naive young man
Who was sure that he had the world in his hand.
In my heart I feel that love I once knew
But my mind tells me now there's nothing to do
About love, about age, about years that are lost
About moments regretted
About actions' sad costs
I see a world of beauty so fine
Then I wake up
It was all in my mind.
I see a world that is free of man's fears.
Then I wake up
I wake up in tears.
