What have they done to me?
to the air that I breathe and all I see
easily amused and kept
tell me what have they done to me
they took everything I had
and crushed it all to dust
they raised down my name so that all would see
so long
so long
so long
I pull myself from my wonder
to warm her through the night
I'm a long long way from emptiness
so step a side
I might feel alive
I might feel alive
I might feel alive
but i nearly died
I might seem alive
I might seem alive
but i cried
for so long
so long
what have they done to me?
to the birds that sing and the simple things?
I held all my curses
I can't see no rest
but it's all right
it's all right
they took from me all that one could take
my children my loves my orchard dumped tears
it's all been borrowed so we will say
to sit in the kingdom of light
now you know i wanna be
as free as one would wanna be
cause time won't let you walk away
cause time won't let you be afraid
don't be afraid
for too long
too long
i might walk alone
i might walk alone
i might walk alone
but i nearly died
i might seem alive
i might seem alive
but i cried
i might walk alone
i might walk alone
i might walk alone
but i'm almost home
i might seem alive
i might seem alive
but i nearly died
i might seem alive
i might seem alive
i might seem alive
but i nearly died
i might walk alone
i might walk alone
but i'm almost home
yeah i'm almost home
i might seem alive
i might seem alive
i might seem alive
but i nearly died
yeah i nearly died
so long
I don't need to fight
To prove I'm right
I don't need to be forgiven.
