Your little world

You know there was a time,
Your people reached so high they almost touched the sun.
It always seemed to me,
Like you expected us to follow one by one.
I watched a poor man's only son,
Who worked in every hour the good lord would provide.
Now you've forsaken him,
And so he's left to reconcile lost love with pride.

(Chorus)
In my life, and you said your little world would last forever.
All the time, and you said you lived your life just by the letter,
But you never no oh oh, oh oh.

I don't pretend to know, or understand the task that you have set on me.
I've lived among the ones who had no choice,
But be content with silent need.
And worthy tools you always used,
You used the fear in us to banish any fight.
Why do the years so full of love,
All now relinquish, every minute to the times?

(Chorus)
In my life, and you said your little world would last forever.
All the time, and you said you lived your life just by the letter,
But you never no oh oh, oh oh.

(Chorus)
In my life, and you said your little world would last forever.
All the time, and you said you lived your life just by the letter,
But you never no oh oh, oh oh.
