People surround me, but they don't care to know So I am lord and master of all that is my own All is done in my belief, within my might All else that happens is not my fight Words made hollow, a world made shallow Mine is the pledge, but now I feel, I've lost the edge I stand alone in this cold life So much is there to make mine Many mountains left to climb Conviction, by vision made whole It's perfection in a glass bowl The drive, which pushed me on, to make it on my own Slowly fading:, slowly grinding to a halt I stand alone
