lyrics

When I was young I thought I was right
but soon they told me I had no rights
I believed from the books that love conquered all
That’s the kind of thing you say when you’re small

I came soon to realise there’s no room to riot
The ones who got on bow their head and kept quiet
Just as well I kept my dreams to myself
That’s the only way to be true to yourself

All we ever did was for the Powerful One
All we ever did was for the Powerful One

All the dreams we had were of the Powerful One
All the dreams we had were of the Powerful One

All the lies that we spoke were for the Powerful One
All the lies that we spoke were for the Powerful One

When I grow up I thought I’d change things and blame things
When I grow up I thought the world could be made better, if I get it
But soon they stopped me from trying, I’m crying
Soon they stopped me from believing, I’m leaving

Now I regret that I didn’t see the light
Now I know that they were always right….

All we ever did was for the Powerful One
All we ever did was for the Powerful One

All the dreams we had were of the Powerful One
All the dreams we had were of the Powerful One
