I am relocating in the surface It's like someone fished me from under the water Told me I had the power And I deserve the power No matter what I do A passenger, a passer-by Power given as birth right To the common man Tell him he has the power And he deserves the power No matter what he makes of himself If I can stand the language I can stand the sign of the times The sign of the times Don't praise me for the things that I used to be Why should you build an altar to all you consciously left in the past? So much fight To earn your own birth right If I can stand the language I can stand the sign of the times The sign of the times When in need, a helping hand When alone, the friendly voices understand Automaton responses and automatic choices that amount to sand If I can stand the language I can stand the sign of the times The sign of the times
