I am a man

When the glacier of our broken dreams

Melts in your champagne glass

Someone knocks on your door four times

Every grain is a day, falling

Finding it's rightful place

When the glacier of our broken dreams

Melts in your champagne glass

And the glacier of our human dream

Gone with the champagne glass in the sea
