lyrics

In a blinding flash of light I saw my life laid out before me
With all its twists and turnings, all its errors and dead ends
It came to me one night like a vision sent to warn me
A message from the future to wise up and make amends

A hundred secrets locked away
A thousand demons held at bay
I’m longing for the dawning of the day
And hoping everything will be ok

The picture started out just like a view from some jetliner
A panoramic drama seen from thirty thousand feet
The camera started zooming and the details getting finer
Suddenly I realised the focus was on me

Deep complications like underground stations
Connected by magnetic lines
No way of knowing which way this is going
So mesmerized by the signs

If you had the gift to see yourself as others see you
With all your imperfections, all your defects and your flaws
Don’t you know this gift might be the one thing that can free you
All you have to do is lose your craving for applause
