Ordinary Man

Who you wanna be? The owner of the moon,
a soon forgotten hero with a never fading bloom.
Who you wanna be?
When you realize you’re failing all the time.
Who you wanna be?

Where do you wanna go? When you leave your past
behind, when you move yourself in circles
and there’s nothing left to find.
Where do you wanna go? When you feel
there’s nothing left for you to do.

Who you wanna be?
In a world of sad and loneliness.
Who you wanna be?
When you’re full of all the emptiness.
Who you wanna be?
When the moon is on the wane – you ordinary…

Man got a ticket to the life to come.
You will attain the land a day.
Man what do you wanna take along?
Don’t you know the price you pay?
For the greedy thoughts
your pretty gods you give yourself away.
Who you wanna be? Where do you wanna go?

Mr. Mirror, don’t tell me what you see,
I’m a content man in a modern world.
That’s all I want to be. So why should I go
to a place I never wanted to belong?

I don’t wanna be
in a world of sad and loneliness,
I don’t wanna be
the fool of all the emptiness.
I don’t wanna be, no, a shadow in the rain,
an ordinary man.

Who you wanna be?
In a world of sad and loneliness.
Who you wanna be?
When you’re full of all the emptiness.
Who you wanna be?
When the moon is on the wane – you ordinary man.
