Put forward in solitude Small of words petition If something created you Then maybe that something will care What useless soliloquy Without recognition If someone was listening You wouldn't have offered the prayer But you're waiting for someone else to validate your existence You're praying for a man to come Inaugurate your happy and meaningful life Till then you've just that single hope to motivate your persistence In holding your own, in living alone But what if he never comes? What if your fate is eternal seclusion? Would it feel good to complain about being a woman in a man's world? What if you never fell in love? What if life suddenly wasn't over? What if you woke up one morning instead In old women's clothing, gray hair on your head, Wet nursed and spoon fed Alone on your bed? SongtexteThese thoughts are your contract Your pact with anxiety The same that give you purpose Withholds satisfaction, fulfillment and joy Self pity prohibits you From finding security You can't be a woman when you're still a girl in want of a boy And it's a bitter brand of comedy that marks your benediction When the faith that finds you on your knee Has not the strength to pull you through your needs And your defining fantasy speaks only condescension Cause you're still alone, still holding your own But what if he never comes? What if your fate is eternal seclusion? What if your life goes unshared and unwitnessed? What if you grow up to be an old maid? What if you're waiting for life to begin? When really you're waiting for nothing at all? What if you wake up one morning instead Alone in your bed? What if you find a man, But you're still alone? No longer a virgin, But you're still unknown He's only met your needs With needs of his own Is that what you've been waiting for? What if you find the one Whose strength would see you through? But only to find he's just as weak as you And one lonely child, has now become two Is that what you've been praying for? What if somebody was trying to tell you That you were the reason that he was a man? Yeah, but you wouldn't listen, You were too wrapped up in your own defeat He suffers your rejection It's amazing what the mind constitutes indiscreet And what if life is waiting in front of your nose But you hadn't noticed cause your eyes are closed? Your debating opposed To the one who loves you most Aus Songtexte Mania
