lyrics

I wake up to the morning light
With a window of sunshine in my eyes
But it's here and gone, I'm paralyzed
Fall into the same routines
All my worries, obsessions, things unseen
And i lose the chance to have this dance with You

So we go into the maze
Words, smiles, shaking of hands
Deep inside were hiding
From what You command
A puppet on a string............in this game

All this pressure, inside my soul
To speak, to sing this glory this glow
That was given me such a long long time ago
I feel so scared like the servant who
Buried his talent in the ground where no one knew
And the Master came home and gave it to someone who
Would use it

So we go into the maze
Words, smiles, shaking of hands
Deep inside were hiding
From what You command
A puppet on a string............in this game

So we go into the game
Words, smiles, shaking of hands
Deep inside were dying when HE overcame
No longer on a string
No longer on a string
No longer on a string....in this game
game
game
game
