There was a hint of danger, they told him it's okay

There was a chance of failure, they told him it's alright

A false security driven by a weakened state of mind

It's calling and calling



He had a big decision, they told him it's okay

Bound by his inhibitions, they told him it's alright

Time for reality, time to gain control of his own life

It's calling and calling



Do you know what is wrong? Try to keep it in line

You can't go back, there must be something



He tried, once was not enough

They told him it's alright

He tried, wasn't good enough

That doesn't make it right
