You've changed the world around you, Is it better now? No starving anymore, Is it better now? Your helpless little fingers, They've never been as calm as now Your trembling is over it's better now If there was a light in the dark I would try to wake you up could I look into your eyes while another baby cries Forgive me I see the children in the playfield You had to leave your place Your silent accusation they took away your face Your little life was over before it ever had begun Your little wings were broken You never reach the sun If there was a light in the dark I would try to wake you up Could I look into your eyes Would you take my alibies -- forgive me Ev'rybody knows it Repression is the way You're not the child next door You're much too far away But there's no light in the dark So I won't try to wake you up I couldn't look into your eyes In this world of alibies Forgive me
