If we give up before we ever fought   If we only do what we are told   And think we know it all, but never really learnt   If we turn the page before the page has turned      If we close doors, we never opened up   If we don't really start a thing before we stop   And never speak the truth although we do not lie   If we're full of plans but never dare to try...      Ghosts we are, made of flesh and bone   With empty minds and hearts of stone   The seed that was not meant to thrive   Existing but not really alive      Ghosts we are, though there's blood in our veins   Born free we chose to live in chains   Thought we were on our way, but in fact we weren't   So we burned out, before we ever burned...      If we take no risk, afraid that we might loose   And neverever make a choice, but let the others choose   If we don't love, afraid we won't be loved   If we long for touch but keep our fingers gloved      If we've got it good but even though feel bad   And should be happy but always feel sad   If we crash down before we tried to fly   Then we are dead so long before we die      Ghosts we are, made of flesh and bone   With empty minds and hearts of stone   The seed that was not meant to thrive   Existing but not really alive      Ghosts we are, though there's blood in our veins   Born free we chose to live in chains   Thought we were on our way, but in fact we weren't   So we burned out before we ever burned...
