Hey little sister
Do you know what time it was
When you finally seen all your broken dreams
Come crashing down your door
They demand an answer and they demand it quick
Or the questions fade and the wasted days
Come crawling back for more
And I say: "Do you know where the power lies?"
And who pulls the strings
Do you know where the power lies
I say: "It starts and ends with you"
The face of isolation
Well, that's one you recognize
Well, you can't get straight
It's a lonely place and it's one you do despise
Boredom is for sale now and helplessness you feel
It's a wounded dove and the hawks are above
Blood splattered on a reel to reel
And I say: "Do you know where the power lies?"
And who pulls the strings
Do you know where the power lies
It starts and end with you
I was almost over, my world was almost gone
In a sudden rush I could almost touch the things that I'd done wrong
My sungle's made of concrete through silence I could feel
My aim is true and I will walk on through these mountains made of steel
And I say: "Do you know where the power lies?"
And who pulls the strings
Do you know where the power lies
I say: "It starts and ends with you"
It starts and ends with you
I say:"It starts and ends with you"
