Berlin - The World Is Waiting lyrics

rate me

She never sleeps, never laughs, never feels the sun

And when you ask her how she is

Tired and broken

She works alone, eats alone, drinks alone at night

She has a family far away

And she doesn't know them

And every day goes by like a silent dream

Behind the same four walls closing off her screams

Captured, inside a trance

And once upon a time she had hopes of her own

But as the tears go by she sinks like a stone

Is there someone somewhere who cares

One day she woke up to a life

Without anyone to hold at night

She looked up to the sky

The world is waiting

Take what you want

Release yourself from the past

The world is waiting

Step through the door

Finding a way at last oh-oh

He never cries, never talks of the youth he's lost

And when you ask him what he needs

It's just dignity

Cause every day he's pulled like a man on a string

9 to 9 he's working down on his knees

To feed the children he never sees

One day he turned out the light

Without anyone to hold at night

Then he opened up his eyes

The world is waiting

Take what you want

Release yourself from the past

The world is waiting

Step through the door

Finding a way at last oh-oh

Don't look back

There's just one track

The weight on your shoulders

Is only in your mind

The future's here

Leave the rest behind...
