out on your own
in the strange land
the illusions look real
the illusions look sad
all through the years
in their tender grasp
you've been caught in a trap
you've been caught in yourself

soon you'll be going down
going down to cry
soon you'll be looking up
looking up to laugh

out on your own
there are places you don't know
the unique way you feel
the unique way you find

soon you'll be going down
going down to cry
soon you'll be looking up
looking up to laugh
the world is still the same
it won't go forward
it won't go back

out on your own
there are different ways to go
please don't lose all your faith
when you make your mistakes
