You tried it their way
You tumbled down the stairway
It's time to give up and give in
You have to surrender to win
(Re)call the Zuider Zee
Sail the submarine
Leave those strange adult ways behind
Watch the butterfly
Underneath the sky
Save whats left of your broken dreams
Lay your arms and you can start
To pick up and mend the pieces of your broken heart
Your afraid inside
Feel a fool to try
Care too much of what people think
Go in your bare feet
Naked in the street
Then you'll know how to speak your mind
Lay your hand inside my hand
There's a strangness in this world that we don't understand
Can't you see
When it's cold outside
But you feel very warm
'cause when you look inside
There's no wailing pride
There's a grown up child here again...
