There's an old man who's in desperate need of self-esteem
All this constant pressure around him makes him feel...

...worthless and denied,he said he'd never felt quite alright
he demanded something more out of life than only to fit right in

This old man is still waiting to be recognized
Broken dreams are reflected in his weary eyes

All his life he fought his way to be satisfied
But somewhere on the long hard way it seems he lost his mind

Life went by so fast, there's little time when you strive for success and fame so now he sees his life long attempt to be someone fail
He's weak and afraid

He covered his ears and then he closed his eyes and started to pray for one more chance to live life again without demands and fear of making mistakes
