Lyrics

[Verse 1] I pass through noise and silence, I walk alone, it's a beautiful day, it's raining and it's cold Reflected onto the wet pavement, can you see what I see? The trembling imagine of my eyes that are still free. I pass through noise and silence, I walk alone, it's a beautiful day, it's raining and it's cold Reflected onto the wet pavement, can you see what I see? The trembling imagine of my eyes that are still free. And they say silver, I choose gold, I'm not afraid to be alone, Someone will judge his gentle soul, Let a boy cry and he will know. And they say silver, I choose gold, woooo, I've never done as I've been told wo o o ooo ... You're always waiting for somebody [Chorus] And you don't like yourself, they made you change, Do you remember when you were someone else, Soldiers and dolls won't give away my childhood dreams, I was a pirate, I conquered and I sailed free. [Verse 2] You're always waiting for somebody [Chorus] And you don't like yourself, they made you change, Do you remember when you were someone else, Soldiers and dolls won't give away my childhood dreams, I was a pirate, I conquered and I sailed free. [Verse 3] And they say silver, I choose gold, I'm not afraid to be alone, Someone will judge his gentle soul, Let a boy cry and he will know. And they say silver, I choose gold, woooo, I've never done as I've been told wo o o ooo ...
