This is where I stand   This is who I am   This is the way it had to be   Arrows point in every direction   Where to turn, seek to learn;   Lies in the sand of time      Closing my mind to remember   But there is nothing to forget   All I ever had is here, before me   Open up the opened and collect      This is the written word   This is who I am   This is the extension of the wish;   Conviction will blossom,   As failure laughs in my face   I'll still be waiting for my turn      Closing my mind to remember   But there is nothing to forget   All I ever had is here, before me   Open up the opened and collect      Closing my mind to remember   But there is nothing to forget   All I ever had is here, before me   Open up the opened and collect
