In a world of chains

In a world of chains
he's hushing his pace away, 
but nobody hears the sound
of him living –
everyone carries on singing,
with each step,
the music of their past. 

We all live dragging chains around –
the trick is to remember
that we once knew
how to dance
enjoying
the music of silence.

Written in the bathtub while listening to this song. 



Take to new heights far above, far above the city lights,
Open your way into the atmosphere,
It's beautiful, it's beautiful what we have here.
