Wide awake - night after night and
Day again - locked in this cage
A grown man is dwelling in fantasies
All by himself, despite his age
Save a prayer, and restore your faith
And you isolate yourself again
Among your enchantments of make-believe
You're in a daze, far from the real game
Scared and jaded to rejoin the race
Feels like you have lost the pace
New paths and landscapes invite you to chase
The forgotten treasure - the one and only truth to embrace

(ch)
Run away but then another day
Comes and you'll find some confidence
Straight ahead, striking back again
Eager in strides
Defiance, Defiance, Defiance
The size of your hunger and strength you can tell
Rise and shine out of your shell
Defy yourself
