In a Crowd
I stand alone in a room full of people.
Can't you hear my crying?
I stand apart from the crowd around me.
Can't you hear my screaming?
When they stand, I fall.
Try to understand,
I don't know anything, anything at all.
Wander with me, and I am so lonely
Do you feel me reaching?
There is no lesson for you to learn
Why am I still teaching?
When they fight, I cower.
Do not defend,
hold on 'til the end.
And the sun burns, the Earth turns...
New days will bring more light,
Chasing away the darkness of the night
I am still here, I do still yearn...
Forever in constant change
My life has been rearranged...
I stand alone in a crowd.
