Everybody’s raised in blindness
Everbody knows it’s true
Everybody feels that everything is real
Anbody’s point of view
Nobody can break their bondage
Everyone can feel their chains
But even in my life I knew you found your sight
And nothing would be quite the same
Please help me
Who can I be now?
You found me, Oooo
Can I be held apart?
You found me, now can I be?
Now you found me, Now can I be real?
Can I be real?
(Somebody real)
If it’s all a vast creation
Putting on a face that’s new
Someone has to see
A role for him and me
Someone might as well be you
Up in heaven, any angel
Writes a special game to play
Oh, could we, could we make a start
To snatch their Angels part?
A major role for everyday
Please help me
Who can I be now?
You found me, Ooo
Can I be held apart?
You found me, now can I be?
Now you found me, now can I be real?
Can I be real?
(Can I be?)

Whoooo, can I be held apart you found me

Everbody knows it’s true
