Under the surface
We're all small
Under the surface
You'll find laughter and tears
There's so much going on there
That we cannot understand
But we'll always find the answer
There, at the bottom of ourselves
Under the surface
They're laughing and cheering
But soon it all ends in chaos
Someone kicks and hits someone weaker
Who hasn't got a chance
I see that no one seems to care
And neither do I
The fear is too great and strong
To do anything at all
Under the surface
I'm ashamed of myself
Under the surface
The images burn me
Burn me
Burn me
I know, I know, I know that you're there
I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know that you're there
I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know…
I often think about you
As if you were my own brother
I have changed too
Into a merciless monster
When I see all the evil
That we, as human beings, have unleashed
The senseless suffering
Then I find it harder to understand
That we all were children once
And we all were helpless once
We loved without limits
We loved unconditionally
Under the surface
We're all small
Under the surface
A good soul can be lost
