Circumstances
 
A boy alone, and so far from home, endless rooftops from my window
I felt the gloom of empty rooms, on rainy afternoons
 
Sometimes in confusion, I felt so lost and disillusioned
Innocence gave me confidence, to go up against reality
 
All the same, we take our chances
Laughed at by Time, tricked by circumstances
The more that things change, the more they stay the same
 
Now I've gained some understanding, of the only world that we see
Things that I once dreamed of, have become reality
 
These walls that still surround me, still contain the same old me
Just one more who's searching for, the world that ought to be.
