Hey little sister, do you know what time it was?
When you finally seen all your broken dreams come crashing down your door
I said, they demand an answer and they demand it quick
Or the questions fade and the wasted days come crawling back for more

The face of isolation, well, that's one you recognize
When you can't get straight, it's a lonely place and it's the one you do despise
I said, boredom is for sale now and helplessness you feel
It's a wounded dove and the hawks are above, blood splattered on a reel to reel

And I say, do you know where the power lies
And who pulls the strings?
Do you know where the power lies?
I said, it starts and ends with you

Yeah, I was almost over and my world was almost gone
And in a sudden rush I could almost touch the things that I'd done wrong
My jungle's made of concrete through silence I can feel
Oh, my aim is true and I'll walk on through these mountains made of steel
