[Verse]
A E/A A A [ A ]
To keep in silence I resigned
A E/A A A ´ [ F#m ]
My friends would think I was a nut

Turning water into wine
F#m E/F# F#m [ A ]
Open doors would soon be shut
A E/A A A [ A ]
So I went from day to day

When I think that I am free
A E/A A A [ A ]
Watched by empty silhouettes
A E/A A A [ F#m ]
Who close their eyes, but still can see
