Don't believe, don't fear, don't ask,
Lonely, everlasting wanderer.
You've been on your way your whole life through,
A prisoner of your own desires, it's true.
You were a simple, kind-hearted guy,
Never answered a question with a question.
And life broke you more than once, my friend,
It taught you how to read between the lines.
Don't believe, don't fear, don't ask,
Carry the bright light of your Love
Deep within your chest, don't let it go,
Let it warm you on your lonely road.
An easy path is not for you to take,
For everything, a price you'll have to pay.
You cannot live without loving, for goodness sake,
It's so hard to be yourself, day by day.
Don't believe, don't fear, don't ask,
Forgive everyone who caused you pain.
You don't need their sorrow's heavy mask,
It only brings you grief and endless rain.
Your Destiny is to always march ahead,
Your Star is calling you once more.
And again, your heart beats fast with dread,
Like a caged bird beating at the door.
