In a small town, somewhere on the eastern side of the Elbe A girl looks at the sky, believing that someday she could learn how to fly And held within this vision, where her secrets lived and breathe With an inner desire to be free
And they all new she was special, from her first years as a child Almost like an inner glow, only visible with faith But you don't ask many questions and you don't reveal your fear It's here that you belong, there is nowhere else to be
And to light up your life, you have your family and friends who never listen You can fall into line, just like your mama did and her mama before
It begins as an obsession and ends in misery Till you're faced with the decision, to stay or to break free And the choice is never easy, so you have to take and give Either learning how to die or learning how to live
And to light up your life, you have your family and friends who never listen You can fall into line, just like your mama did and her mama before With all your inhibitions increasing inside and no one to talk to The time has arrived to go your own way, if you don't you'll just regret it
Oh love, what else can you do No one understands how it feels to be All this indecision is killing me
And to light up your life, you have your family and friends who never listen You can fall into line, just like your mama did and her mama before With all your inhibitions increasing inside and no one to talk to The time has arrived to go your own way, if you don't you'll just regret it
