It is my world you see outside
 It is my day - It is my night
 It is the odour of delight

 It is the face inside the pond
 It is the monster we've all become
 It is the things still undone
 What I'm recalling

 It is the ill - It is the lure
 It is the pain I knew for sure
 It is the life I didn't want to lead
 What I'm recalling

 It is the news on TV
 It is the picture hurting me
 It is the truth - we want to flee
 What I'm recalling

 It is the duty we all discharge
 It is the burden that is too large
 It is the empty words we adore
 What I'm recalling

 It is the puppets guiding us
 It is the lies which we trust
 It is the fate we've never had
 What I'm recalling
