lyrics

give you the gold now
what's the delay
already half your life
has flown away
you need the world back
to blue and green
the burning fire behind
a human being

and the beating wings
above your head
make such a beautiful sound
till they leave you in the silence
of a place you cannot leave behind
and you, you're writing the poem
because you think you don't belong
but what could be more wrong of you
then to dream of home
and think that there is none for you
oh what could be more wrong
then to dream of home
and think that there is none

you can't find yourself
all the time on top of this
and be blind to your point in the line
your place in the family, and your heart
but you know your gold's not out there
