When all is forgotten
and the pain has passed
I understand now
that I was there for you
Don't ask me how
I know it's true
I understand now
that I was there for you
I make my plans
as I always have
But when I look back
I was there for you
I walk the streets
as I used to do
and I shiver with fear
but I am there for you
Life
passes before me
it wasn't for me
it was always for you
You sent me here
You sent me there
Breaking things
that I cannot repair
Creating objects
from thoughts
making others
without thinking
Eating food
and drinking wine
a body that
I thought was mine
Dressed as an Arab
dressed as a Jew
a mask of iron
I was there for you
States of glorious mind
states of mind so rotten
the world passes through
a bloody rag
And death is old
but always new
and I shiver with fear
but I am there for you
I understand it clearly
I've always known
it was never for me
I was there for you
I was there for you
my beloved
and for your law
everything was made
and the pain has passed
I understand now
that I was there for you
Don't ask me how
I know it's true
I understand now
that I was there for you
I make my plans
as I always have
But when I look back
I was there for you
I walk the streets
as I used to do
and I shiver with fear
but I am there for you
Life
passes before me
it wasn't for me
it was always for you
You sent me here
You sent me there
Breaking things
that I cannot repair
Creating objects
from thoughts
making others
without thinking
Eating food
and drinking wine
a body that
I thought was mine
Dressed as an Arab
dressed as a Jew
a mask of iron
I was there for you
States of glorious mind
states of mind so rotten
the world passes through
a bloody rag
And death is old
but always new
and I shiver with fear
but I am there for you
I understand it clearly
I've always known
it was never for me
I was there for you
I was there for you
my beloved
and for your law
everything was made
