Translation
Bilingual
She dwells in a hell
She had built for herself to ensure her safety
With sight to foretell evil men for their deeds
Where she had seen this muse
It was born of lies that she hid behind her eyes
A wish and a prayer won't transport you there
Just step outside
She flew from comfort and routine
Four walls fell around the dream
Though feet aren't prepared, resolve was declared
The door's open
We must forgive the crime of never knowing why
A plan changes if we step beyond the line
The chance that passes by
Has lived a thousand lives
Offered, though it's rarely seen
Put down the burdens of haunting pasts
Earn the marvels that most won't have
ย
She walks with cool composure
Masking her panicked state of mind
She's sick to death with worry
So she tells herself, "I'm gonna die"
Pupils adjust to sunlight
And lungs remember how to breathe
So she pulls herself together
And sets her sights to cross the street
A child brushes her ankle
And she's thankful that she's not alone
Feet reach to touch the pavement
How can they know what's to become?
The sound of rubber burning
The bite of headlights blinding eyes
No fear haunts her decision
She pushed the child to the side
ย
Safety is found bleeding on the ground
The gift of altered perspective
We must forgive the crime of never knowing why
A plan changes if we step beyond the line
The chance that passes by
Has lived a thousand lives
Offered, though it's rarely seen
Put down the burdens of haunting pasts
Earn the marvels that most won't have
As the bedlam broke upon the crippled pavement where she lay
The eyes of a child fixed to hers
And she smiled at the choice she'd made
Perhaps years spent in fearfulness
Had helped save more than herself
Though fate can deceive
We hold to beliefs that we know best
