She never sleeps, never laughs, never feels the sun   And when you ask her how she is   Tired and broken      She works alone, eats alone, drinks alone at night   She has a family far away    And she doesn't know them      And every day goes by like a silent dream   Behind the same four walls closing off her screams   Captured, inside a trance      And once upon a time she had hopes of her own   But as the tears go by she sinks like a stone   Is there someone somewhere who cares      One day she woke up to a life   Without anyone to hold at night   She looked up to the sky      The world is waiting   Take what you want    Release yourself from the past      The world is waiting   Step through the door   Finding a way at last oh-oh      He never cries, never talks of the youth he's lost   And when you ask him what he needs   It's just dignity      Cause every day he's pulled like a man on a string   9 to 9 he's working down on his knees   To feed the children he never sees      One day he turned out the light   Without anyone to hold at night   Then he opened up his eyes      The world is waiting   Take what you want    Release yourself from the past      The world is waiting   Step through the door   Finding a way at last oh-oh      Don't look back   There's just one track   The weight on your shoulders   Is only in your mind   The future's here   Leave the rest behind...
