Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
This is the world I meant
Couldn't you listen?
Couldn't you stay content?
Safe behind walls
As I could not
Now you know what's out in there in the world
No one stays untainted by the world
Only I, only I
Who loved you as you were
Only I, who's frightened less of her
Than them
No matter what you say
Children won't listen
No matter what you do
Children refuse to learn
Guide them along the way
Still they won't listen
Children can only grow
From something you love
To something you lose
