TRAVEL LIGHT
 

This morning you felt different
When you woke up after dawn
Reality is shrinking
The lines are being drawn
You realize this has been going on for quite some time
There you go, expansion of the mind

The world they’re building all around you
Chills you to the bone
Within the mindless smothering crowd
You’re standing all alone
Except of course for eyes unblinking watching from the cloud
And money is all they ever talk about

[Refrain]
And you wake up in the morning
And you spread your wings to fly
You don’t let yourself deceive you
And you’re not afraid to die
Forget about the time
When you were trapped in constant night
In hell there are no road signs
Guess you wanna travel light

The road is in the shadows
But you want to gain in speed
A carefully controlled
Loss of control is all you need
Your head is in a bubble
And your feet don’t touch the floor
But fear is not your master anymore

The Ogres of our time
Dwell out of reach among the stars
The winners share the profits
And the losers fight their wars
Now if the game disgusts you
I suggest you do not play
If you wanna be free I’m sure you’ll find a way

[Refrain]
And you wake up in the morning
And you spread your wings to fly
You don’t let yourself deceive you
And you’re not afraid to die
Forget about the time
When you were trapped in constant night
In hell there are no road signs
Guess you wanna travel light

[Solo]

You don’t want to stop living
Before the day you die
You never ever judge a thing
Before you had your try
And you don’t follow orders
Without asking the reason why
So get out here before your well runs dry

[Refrain]
And you wake up in the morning
And you spread your wings to fly
You don’t let yourself deceive you
And you’re not afraid to die
Forget about the time
When you were trapped in constant night
In hell there are no road signs
Guess you wanna travel light

In hell there are no road signs
Guess you wanna travel light
