[They ask for your trust,    but if you do trust them they leave you stranded with your disillusions.    They, who are they?]      In a room so dark and painful   When fingers rule your eyes   Just trapped inside a cage   No fear, no trust nowhere to run to   But reachíng for the skies   And falling onto your knees      It's hard to trace, an empty face   Has faded with each passing year      Coming closer   I swear I know how it feels   From land to shining sea   Coming closer   We deserve what we see   In the land of the free      Wish that my thoughts were so simple   Meaning of life   A reason to believe   Swallowed in by your peers   Destructive atmosphere   Or just an excuse      No use in pretending, ain't no pride in it at all   Is when you're standing out in the cold      Coming closer   I swear I know how it feels   From land to shining sea   Coming closer   We deserve what we see   In the land of the free      Now you're closer   You deserve what you see   Wish that your thoughts were so simple   Your fears rise up from the ashes      No use in pretending, ain't no pride in it at all   Is when you're standing out in the cold      Coming closer   I swear I know how it feels   From land to shining sea   Coming closer   We deserve what we see   In the land of the free      Coming closer   I swear I know how it feels   From land to shining sea   Coming closer   We deserve what we see...
