Trying to figure out just where your life is goin'
Can you see the picture in the purple sky?
Silently you're walkin', but where are you headin'?
Questions terrorise, space inside your mind
Are you strong enough for love?
Are you strong enough for peace?
Are you strong enough to die?

They try to take your soul and mind
But you won't let them
Never wear your destiny, outside your smile
Always talk in riddles, so you keep them guessing

You try to give them food, but they just refuse you
Deep down inside, you know you've tried
