The Others

I remember those years
When days of youth were bright
Everything seemed so real
Like a path in pale moonlight

In this insanity of the mad world
I see the way across
When none could say a word
Dwelling in faded echoes
I saw the beauty yet unseen
Like through a child’s memory

Beyond the edges of life
We seek pure light
Wandering blindly in the dark

Chasing the past we lose our future
Longing for all gone days
In the end we are never so pure
We forget ourselves

I long for the day when I can see
The better world I still believe in
Like I used to when I was a kid

In this insanity of the mad world
I see the way across
When none could say a word
Dwelling in faded echoes
I saw the beauty yet unseen
Like through a child’s memory

You walked through thorns and broken glass
I cried in the night longing for a dream
Yet in these mad past years we look in each other’s eyes
Seeking that we’ve lost in that endless sea

So close, yet so far
I look like in the mirror
Deep into your heart
Still we are the others
