LYRICS: (c) Paul Ullmann


Verse 1:

My life is starting here
I was born, had nothing to fear
What I sense isn't clear
I can't find out what it is

A lot of colours are around me
A lot of things without a name
I grab everything with my hands
In hope to learn something fine

Bridge:

And I'm growing up

I'm growing up
Time passes by
I've learned so much
But I don't know why
The world is waiting
I'm ready for it
But there are problems
I didn't expect

Guitar Part 1 (Verse):

I am lonely
In my school
I've got a hard time
I am the fool
I have got no friends out there
No one takes notice of me

Sitting at home
All alone
Isn't fun
Time to run
From the darkness into the light
There is someone who shines bright

Run!

Guitar Solo


Verse 2:

The light which shone so bright
Was the one now I'm alright
I can live my life
I opened up, I am free

I can do whatever I want to
No one will hold me back
The chain that held my mind captive
Has been broken by the one

Bridge:

And I'm maturing

I'm maturing
Time passes by
I've learned so much
And I know now why
Life isn't easy
I won't forget
But there are still things
I don't know yet

Piano Part:

I was searching for something
A feeling that means everything
I had a dream about the one
Perhaps he can tell where to go

Piano Solo

Verse 3:

I woke up in the night
Knowing now what is right
I got my calling now
It will change my life at once

I work and work and work like mad
To fulfill what I think is right
But as always I'm a bit slow
I can't stop the times flow




Bridge:

And I'm getting old

I'm getting old
Time passed by
The things I've learned
Will soon be gone
I've found my calling
And everything else
But I get this feeling
My time is running out

Guitar Part 2:

This is the end of everything
I've lived long enough

Never mind the future now
What I've done is done

I'll leave this world
To the ones
Who are yet to come

I am ready no regrets
I close my eyes, I did accept

This new world I'm entering
No one knew a single thing
But I am ready - for everything

My adventure's starting here
There isn't anything to fear
The road that lies ahead
I will go, I'm not mad

I can't describe
What I'm seeing here

There is no time
It died right with me

I can see anything
and everything clear
The past, the present, the future
Is all the same here
