Meanwhile

Meanwhile

You've changed the world around you
Is it better now?
No starving anymore
Hey....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 is 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
while another baby cries
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
Your're not the child next door
You've much too far away
If there was a light in the dark
I would try to wake you up
Can I look into your eyes
when you offer me a smile

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.
