Do you ever lie in darkness,
Wondering if you will be
The star of some great epoch
In books of history?
Do you ever fear you'll fail,
And let everyone down
That expected you to be someone,
Instead of to be drowned?
There are so many expectations
For you to change the world
To deny is to refuse
Your duty.

Do you ever lie in darkness,
Wondering if you will be
The star of some great epoch
In books of history?
Do you ever fear you'll fail,
And let everyone down
That expected you to be someone,
Instead of to be drowned?
There are so many expectations
For you to change the world
To deny is to refuse
Your duty.
