Strange how the world shrinks while you grow up Some of it seems so long ago It cannot really have been me at all As future turns to past Premonition turns to reminiscence Reality to mythology Doors open wide Somehow some memories Are growing ever stronger Ever clearer As doors begin to shut Tell me why must my childhood's oceas turn into lakes Horizons move ever nearer The myth is easier to comprehend As doors are being locked Sweet was the sun ? the sun that now is burning me Clear was the rain ? through which no longer I can see And we did laugh ? the conquerors, the chosen Yet we could cry ? now all my dreams are frozen Who am I now ? I want to take another step What will I be ? but my feet are heavy Can I go on ? I know time heals Can I let go ? yet I'm praying for the gods to turn is back Let me relive the mystery Let me conquer new horizons Let me be afraid of the dark Let me evaporate in sunlight On those ancestral plains Open me the gates of the lost realms Is it only my mind that has painted this pictures Of a rose with no thorns As I fly on the wings of the cosmic eagle The knowledge of the naive If I could but learn to live in peace with my past Not seeking to turn back time But I know I would stand all the pain Just to feel the pleasure again Yes I know I would stand all the pain Just to feel the pleasure again Sweet was the sun ? the sun that now is burning me Clear was the rain ? through which no longer see I can And we did laugh ? the conquerors, the chosen Yet we could cry ? now all my dreams are frozen Who am I now ? I want to take another step What will I be ? but my feet are heavy Can I go on ? I know time heals Can I let go ? yet I'm praying for the gods to turn is back Let me relive the mystery Let me conquer new horizons Let me be afraid of the dark Let me evaporate in sunlight On those ancestral plains Open me the gates to the lost realms And I don't know who the old man is Who sits there alone with his dreams But I hope I'll never meet his eyes I hope that he'll never tell me his name And I don't know who the old man is Who sits there alone with his dreams But I hope I'll never meet his eyes I hope that he'll never tell me his name Let me relive the mystery Let me conquer new horizons Let me be afraid of the dark Let me evaporate in sunlight On those ancestral plains Open me the gates to the lost realms Let me relive the mystery Let me conquer new horizons Let me be afraid of the dark Let me evaporate in sunlight On those ancestral plains Open me the gates to the lost realms
