Song Lyrics

Who you gonna 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
When 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?
You're full of all the emptiness
Who you wanna be?
When the moon is on the wane

An ordinary man got a ticket to the life to come
You will attain the land a day
Hey man, what you wanna take along
Don't you know the price you pay

For your greedy thoughts, your pretty Gods
You give yourself away
Who you wanna be?
Where 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 shadow in the rain
An ordinary man, man, yeah

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
A ordinary man
