lyrics

what if you were denied
everything you love in life
what if you tried but failed
to find the light that guides your way
would you step aside?

bit my tongue and forced a smile
questioning but never asking why
men like me don't change overnight
hold my breath as I hold on tight
caught between the longing and the might
men like me don't change

what if your hands were tied
your feet bound to an honest life
what if a Midas touch would reveal too much
about a great divide
would you step aside?

bit my tongue and forced a smile
questioning but never asking why
men like me don't change overnight
hold my breath as I hold on tight
caught between the longing and the might
men like me don't change
