Invite them to fly as you cut their wingsTell them to run as you tie their feetWhere they'll go...Ask them to sing what they can't yet speakShow them how to sow where they'll never reapWhere they'll go...We hold a gunHere comes the tune once againAnother great chief with another strong handFences and wallsHow can you sit where you cannot stand?And we'll be needing more from the less in your handsFences and wallsWe hold a gunWe hold it upFill up their rooms where there are no seatsExpect them to reach them and teach them to dreamAsk them to see as you shut out the lightsExpect a world of color where it's all black and whiteAnd is it protection when it never bendsAnd all the growing and reaching suspends?SongtexteAsk them to come and to dance and to singIn hallways and rooms where the silence stingsAnd are we raising them up just to hold out their handsAnd enter into a world that they won't understandWe hold a gun Aus Songtexte Mania
