We could not run, we could not hide We could not leave the great divide We could not see to scream, to speak We could not hear to cry, to weep We were not here, we were not there We were not us, we were the air We flowed with life, we flowed and flowed Like great dwarfs bright, we were so cold Amidst the likeness that we showed We found ourselves unfree and old.

We could not run, we could not hide We could not leave the great divide We could not see to scream, to speak We could not hear to cry, to weep We were not here, we were not there We were not us, we were the air We flowed with life, we flowed and flowed Like great dwarfs bright, we were so cold Amidst the likeness that we showed We found ourselves unfree and old.
