you never want to stand
you never want to free fall
you never want to rise
you never want to walk
you never will fly

you never saw the way
you never ask the giver
you never took a chance
you never did ask
you played your own game

i stood quietly
i believe, i believe
and it still won't free me
from his arms you cannot see
it's too late, it's too late,
it's too late

you never want to run
you never want to fight back
you never want to move
you never want to stick
you never want to try

you never want to clim
you never want to reach it
it's just out of sight
you say you've got rights
and you think you're the same

i stood quietly
i believe, i believe
but it still won't free me
from his arms you cannot see
it's too late, it's too late,
it's too late

i stood quietly
i believe, i believe
it still won't free me
from his arms i cannot see
it's too late, it's too late,
it's too late
