When you were young A fugitive always on the run Washing your hands in blood Looking for the danger Sleeping with a fallen angel; stranger Open up your arms and don't ever let me go
[Chorus:] Hold me, hold me All the tears in my eyes are real You are the only one Won't you tell me how it feels to live a lie? Save me, save me I'm bastard son And I'll never let you go
The days are my nights Your shadow will always be around Keep me from the gun What's your contribution? Life is just a grand illusion; dreaming Don't wake me up There's so much for me to lose
[Chorus:] Hold me, hold me All the tears in my eyes are real You are the only one Won't you tell me how it feels to live a lie? Save me, save me I'm bastard son And now I'm coming home
Did you try to do the right Did you put up a fight for your own child? I was born to this world and I won't live forever
[Lead: J. Nordlund]
[Chorus]
Bastard son I'm the bastard son and now I'm coming home I'm the bastard son
