Sad and lonely is a place I've been Lost forever in a young boy's dream Taking chances that won't come again Thinking back, was I so happy then
Who's behind me now I've come so far Living up to what they say you are Crowds of people queue to see my show Scared to face it - but how could they know
Take a look at the young man Laughing out loud at the fool Pay the price tomorrow Breaking every rule Take a look at the old man Going back in time with a sigh All he's got is yesterday He's living just to die
Take a look at the wise man Keepin' both his feet on the ground Needs no one to change him Turn his head around Take a look at the weak man Could he ever stand on his own Waiting for the day to come When he'll be all alone
Take a look at the blind man Wishing every day he could see He lives his life in darkness Be grateful, you and me Take a look at yourself now Standing with your back to the wall Pride will get you nowhere fast We're waiting for the fall
Once a whisper that was never heard People listening to every word Life is changing in so many ways Out of darkness into better days
Now the empty seats as people rise Lights are fading and the memory dies Lost in silence as I stop and stare Leaving ghostly echoes everywhere
