Clock Opera Once And For All
One day I woke up to find
there was a hole in my mind
I could not be certain or sure
of anything I knew before
Get up, get out, stand up and shout your name
Don't be afraid to get in the way again
Don't try to stop, like it or not you'll change
You know you only can go further away
When did we forget what we knew?
When did we grow up and when did we lose
everything we were so sure of back then?
How do we know it won’t happen again?
Somewhere an urgency fell from my side
Some time a border between us arrived
that says we are separate and newly defined
It tells us to take it seriously this time
cos there is no once and for all
Get up, get out, stand up and shout your name
Don't be afraid to get in the way again
Don't try to stop, like it or not you'll change
You know you only can go further away
When did we forget what we knew?
When did we grow up and when did we lose
everything we were so sure of back then?
How do we know it won’t happen again?
Now I am sure of my place in the world
I raise up my flag and I watch it unfurl
I know what I want and, I think, what is true
Now I am certain of my love for you
But there is no once and for all
