Lil’ Stevie always tried so hard to get his life done somehow; but he knew right from the start that he would fall down; but he would get up that’s what he also always knew; and the day would come that he would… Stumble and fall down and never wake up anymore. He never met his daddy and his mum was always gone; when he was five he tried to burn the trailer; his so called home; he tried to end his life maybe thirteen times; but there was always something that kept him alive. Stumble and fall down and never wake up anymore.

A warm autumn night somewhere down south; the moon is shining like the sun; it illuminates the front porch and the living room; where he is waiting on her to come; a candlelight is lit on the table by the window; his favorite meal is already served; the gramophone in the corner of the room plays some love songs from long ago. But she won’t come today and no one hears him crying, no one hears him pray. All I want is just one last dance with you; feel your head on my shoulder; all I want is just last night with you; feel your breath on my neck for one last time. His heart is weary and his steps are slow; it’s getting worse everyday; it seems like when she went she took his heart with her; and now it’s gone forever. All I want is just one last dance with you; feel your head on my shoulder; all I want is just last night with you; feel your breath on my neck for one last time. Can you feel his heartbeat; it’s almost gone; ‘cause there’s nothing worth living for anymore; and he don’t believe in angels ‘cause she’s never coming down; no he don’t believe in angels anymore.

I’m taking my dog for a walk; and as I cross the bridge right next to the park; I see here it comes the best part; I can see the first rays of the sun this year; they let all of my worst thoughts disappear; and Loki plays in the snow; like she has never done before. I know this is gonna be a good year. A black family moves into a white house; and I carry the hope deep in my heart; that it's gonna shine like it has never done before; that it's gonna shine like it has never done before. I know this is gonna be a good year.

It seems like all that is left from you is a stone but it’s not like all the others; no yours, yours is made of gold and it shines through all the trousers (of the people walking by); and your name that is written on it for us to never forget; and though I walk by every day and I’d love to I can’t remember your name. Every day that is passing by it seems harder not to forget you; though we have to force ourselves to remind us ‘bout everything that has been done to you. Most of you are older than eighty now and it’s sad truth but soon you’ll all be gone; but who’ll be telling us what happened back then? who’ll be speaking up against what’s happening now? but I wanna tell you that we carry you in our hearts and even though our faces are different we’ll try to speak your voice; and I know that our experiences, they cannot be the same; but I wanna tell you that your struggle will prevail! Every day that is passing by it seems harder not to forget you; though we have to force ourselves to remind us ‘bout everything that has been done to you.

For so many times I have been broken down; but it was quite alright because you’ve always been around; with all your heart you picked me up again; with all your heart you’ve always been my friend. This song’s for you my friend and all the times that we smiled; this song’s for you my friend and all the times that we cried; totally wasted under starlit nights on sidewalks warm like sand; this song’s for you; for my best friend. I know our teenage times they are long gone; summer ’99 skateboarding all day long; and we haven’t been talking too much recently; but I know you’re always there for me. This song’s for you my friend and all the times that we smiled; this song’s for you my friend and all the times that we cried; totally wasted under starlit nights on sidewalks warm like sand; this song’s for you; for my best friend.

When you lose your keys in the snow you won’t hear them falling; when you lose mind in these days no one hears you calling; and even if you try to catch their eyes; they will look right through you; these are sad sad times. But darlin’ I am alright; yeah darlin’ I am alright; darlin’ I am alright; don’t you ‘bout me, I’m alright. Sometimes my heart feels like a time bomb; but with you in my arms it’s ticking slowly; sometimes I even forget about all that mess that is going on outsides; darling, those are the best of times. But darlin’ I am alright; yeah darlin’ I am alright; darlin’ I am alright; don’t you ‘bout me, I’m alright.
7.
As long as these wheels keep on turning; as long as we are still alive; and even if all this can’t last forever; I will always be right here by your side. By your side; by your side. As long as we still remember; as long as we still can use our inner eyes; we can fight everything; that comes towards us; we can walk our way side by side. Side by side; side by side; side by side. As long as these wheels keep on turning; as long as we are still alive; and even if all this can’t last forever; I will always be right here by your side. By your side; by your side; by your side.

Can’t read the writing on the ceiling; because I’m always looking down; and I ain’t going anywhere from here; with both my feet stuck here on the ground; And I will never see those places; that I dream of every night; and every day follows the same old principles; that I never dare to question. Don’t let them soothe your mind; we will jump as high as we can; and we’re never coming down again. Don’t you remember those days; when we made plans to change our world; we thought nothing could ever stop us; don’t you remember those days? I swore that I would never end up like this; hands in my pockets turned into silent fists; my mind’s above the clouds but I can’t follow; fighting back the tears of a dream that is long gone. Don’t you remember those days; when we made plans to change our world; we thought nothing could ever stop us; don’t you remember those days?
9.
I’m stumbling just like you; and I’m exhausted just like you; by all this bitterness that we face day by day; why’s this world so fucking cruel; or maybe I am just a fool; who just can’t get it right; or is it me against the world? Maybe you can help me out on this; maybe when we’re together; we can face this bitterness. Lean on me and I’ll lean on you; when we’re together we can make it through; lonely hearts aren’t so lonely anymore. You’re alone in your room; you pulled down the shades and you locked your door; you feel like never going out anymore; pick me up pick me up is what you say; is there someone out there who feels just like me? Pick me up pick me up is what you say; is there someone out there who feels just like me? Maybe you could help me out on this; maybe when we’re together; we can face this bitterness. Lean on me and I’ll lean on you; when we’re together we can make it through; lonely hearts aren’t so lonely anymore. You are not my enemy; you can be my friend!

It was a damn long road; and we had no choice but to walk it; and though we had no goal; we blindly walked on and on; And still nothing has changed; all we have is this way; yeah still we don’t know who we are; we blindly walk on and on. And still I hope you’re not alone in this; yeah I hope you’re feeling confident now; and if there’s one thing you’ve got to know; then my friend it’s this: for whatever you do; I never gave up on you! Because I believe in you! Yeah I know we’re simple men; and we don’t have much of a choice; you know I never gave up on us; to do the right thing my friend; And still I hope you’re not alone in this; yeah I hope you’re feeling confident now; and if there’s one thing you’ve got to know; then my friend it’s this: for whatever you do; I never gave up on you! Because I believe in you!

All the lights are out; all our friends are gone; now we’re all on our own; now it’s time to go home. It is long, long past midnight; the road is white no other cars in sight; snowflakes are dancing on the windshield; make it hard to keep my mind on the street. Embrace my soul and carry me home; love me with all that you’ve got and bring me back home; embrace my soul and carry me home; love me with everything that you’ve got and bring me back home. This highway’s a prison and it seems to never let me go; the actors are taking the stage again but I ain’t willing to assume my role; that’s why I’m here, that’s why I’m comin’ home; home…; you are my home. Embrace my soul and carry me home; love me with all that you’ve got and bring me back home; embrace my soul and carry me home; love me with everything that you’ve got and bring me back home.

I’ve given up on everything today; my life is lying in pieces; it may sound strange but I feel great; it’s my favorite game… How do you dare to judge about my life; how can you fucking speak about my person; you don’t know anything about me; and your words, they are so goddamn empty; and your actions don’t affect me anymore. I’ve given up on everything today; my life is lying in pieces; it may sound strange but I feel great; it’s my favorite game… I am not disappointed; and I’m not sad; ‘cause everything seems so clear to me; for the first time in my life I feel free; please tell me do you still know what that means? because I almost lost it. I’ve given up on everything today; my life is lying in pieces; it may sound strange but I feel great; it’s my favorite game…
