Who mistook him for a man of means
(Aah, aah, aah)
All the things that happened to me
(Aah, aah, aah)
And dreams of a future
A world full of people, their hearts full of joy
Or all that I have seen
About a world so bright
Cities of light with no fear of war
Just what he's been through
No need to hide
So they let him go again
With meaning and no need to lie
Seems he met up with a gang of thieves
I wish, that I could really tell you
No need to hate
Cities of light with no fear of war
From the world of night
Now he's back at home and happy
A world full of people, their hearts full of joy
And thousands of creatures with happier lives
It seems strange to have to lie
(Aah, aah, aah)
They locked him up, then found he had no money
I wish that I could really tell you
And all that I have seen
And tell instead a made up story
All the things that happened to me
Oh, keep it dark
Just to see the kids
It don't seem too bad if you consider
And thousands of creatures with happier lives
With meaning and no need to hide
And dreams of a future
