For All We Know (NL) - Tired and Ashamed lyrics

No child with an open mind Should feel the burden on his shoulders While we buy ourselves another day He's been told not to be afraid And stares into the eyes of stranger While his parents start to beg and pray And in reverse He's feeling worse No man should ever have to hide But in the end it's what he believes in He's so close he can't see where he is Disappear into slavery Be blind, bow down, keep quiet and be happy It's better to accept than to resist Why do I try to cross the line and ignore the signs? Another dream or so it seems is taking over me And I might find a way to clear my mind on the other side But again I look down and walk away, tired and ashamed He should have been in paradise With every breath he's wearing himself down He's still hoping but he lost his smile Although he never learned to cry His eyes are burning, red, wet and swollen Despite the shame he's feeling so alive Why do I try to cross the line and ignore the signs? Another dream or so it seems is taking over me And I might find a way to clear my mind on the other side But again I look down and walk away, tired and ashamed Fight your way through history Guide me to what you wanted me to see But hide these empty memories Time clean up after me Why do I try to cross the line and ignore the signs? Another dream or so it seems is taking over me And I might find a way to clear my mind on the other side But again I look down and walk away, tired and ashamed Tired and ashamed
