I got away in the morning light
After staying awake all night
I saw that man standing by the sea
I'm coming back here anyway
*Well I want to do good
But I've been doing wrong
I do what I do but I don't understand it
I see and I hear
But I don't know what you demand of me*
A gentle way can save a life
You looked away and opened my eyes
But I remember every word I spoke
It still cuts like a sharpened knife
I was old from the start
Now I'm young at heart
After staying awake all night

But I don't know what you demand of me*
A gentle way can save a life
