We grew up too fast, threw ourselves into the past
Look and see how long we all last.
Tell me, honey, how did you think it would be...
all the grandeur and the glamour in the land of the free?

Are you here? Are you really here?
If you're here, can you hear me?
Are you here? Are you really here?
If you're here, can you hear me?

Look into our young lucid eyes
Innocence fading away
Hoping that we will say yes,
if we live, to fight another day
Another day, oh, I will return
but when I learn to say, no, no -
It will be a wonderful day.

You grew up, my dear faster than I had feared.
You were all mine and we were, we were so revered.

They see you now, clearly. Without a sound,
you're up on point, so you better hit the ground.

Keep your head up, keep your eyes up
and keep your mind straight, yeah.

Tell me now how did you think it would be
In the glamorous fight for the land of the free
Tell me, tell me! How did you think it would be?
So tell me -

Are you here? Are you really here?
If you're here, tell me that you are with me.
I feel nothing, so calm me down
when I make promise, promise
promise from the periphery
Are you here? Tell me when you get here,
and if you hear me 'cause I'm calling...
calling! Are you hear? I'm calling you now.

Well now you're back, they've taken pity
and you feel naked everywhere, in the city
Look at yourself and what you've become
Life is not the same and you're getting numb, yeah.
Life is not the same and you're getting numb.
Look into our young lucid eyes
Innocence fading away, fading away, fading away...
Hoping that we will say yes
and fight another day,
But we say no, no, no, no, no more
So can you hear me? Are you here, can you hear me?
