"a thing I don't try to deny
i'd better learn to accept that
there are things in my life that I can't control
(...)
too many tears have had to fall
don't you know I'm so tired of it all?
(...)
you know I don't want to be clever
to be brilliant or superior
true like ice, true like fire
now I know that a breeze can blow me away

now I know there's much more dignity
in defeat than in the brightest victory."
