How can I see when the light is gone out?
How can I hear when you speak so silently?
More than enough is never too much
Hold out a hand I'm so out of touch

Do unto me as your heart would have you do
Words in my head can I get the message through?
Sword in my hand can cut through the wood
Peace in my heart can soften the mood

What shall I do when they stand smiling at me?
Look at the floor and be oh, so cool
Oh, so cool?

How shall I know when to start singing my song?
What shall I do if they all go wrong?
What shall I do?

What shall I do when they stand laughing at me?
Walk through the door and be oh so cool?

How shall I know when to stop singing my song?
What shall I do when it all goes wrong?
