Each of us is only a child
Looking for conformity once felt in a mother’s womb
Lurking from any danger the world had prepared
Oh, probably we’re looking for a similar feeling
A safe surrounding to wash away everything
And erase a void we have in our heart
Once made from the drop of tears
after those painful betrayals
