lyrics
Across the street I see a friend
I say hello if I want to
With my ups and downs, smiles and frowns
My head’s stuck in a cloud
I’m gonna lose who I used to be
In the eyes of man - I am breaking up the band
In the hour of passion – Is it me I understand?
When the eagle clips its wing and hits the ground
Then either I will die or go around
Are we in the quest of who should get what’s better?
Cause we’re gonna get it right once and for all – ahh
Across the street I see a friend
I say hello ‘cause I want to
Coming closer, eye to eye
If you take it slow, we can open doors
In the eyes of man - I am changing all our plans
Something I oughtta do - Gotta get to who I am
When freedom clips its wing and hits the ground
Then either I will die or go around
Are we living it up so much I’ve lost what’s real?
Is there anyone here who wants to feel alive?
Broke and down I cry out loud
I can see my open shell
Warning signs showing me
How to free the pain in my heart
In the eyes of man - I am breaking up the band
In the hour of passion – Is it me I understand?
Only I can be the one to find a reason
And I’m gonna get it right once and for all
In the eyes of man – I cry out loud
In the eyes of man – My open shell
In the eyes of man – Showing me…
Can you see it too?
