Life seems to stand still in time
As the soul retires deaf, dumb and blind
And all we feel if far from real
As these gears which once had driven us lie still and frozenInnocence has long grown old
As idle hearts have long grown coldRight or wrong, we go along
Lame and tired, the will to try
Deep down inside all of us lies dying
It's easy not to see what this should beWind this spring and watch it grow
Stand back and watch as it explodes
And all unfolds as all we hold
Wound tightly, carefully, silently unravelsIdle hands have lost their hold
As idle minds think what they're toldRight or wrong, we go along
Lame and tired, the will to try
Deep down inside all of us lies dying
It's easy not to see what this could beRight or wrong, we go along
Lame and tired, the will to try
Deep down inside all of us lies dying
It's easy not to see what this could be
