When  I was young  it came  to me,  and I could  see the sun  breaking
Lucy  was high,  and so  was I, dazzling, holding  the world  inside
Once  I  believed in  everyone,  everyone and anyone  can see
 ]
Oh  the night comes down, and I  get afraid,  of losing  my way
Oh  the  night  comes  down, Oh  and it's dark  again
 Once I could laugh with everyone, once I could see the good in me
 The black and the white distinctively, coloring, holding the
  world inside
 Now all the world is grey to me, nobody can see
 (you gotta believe it)
 and it's dark  again
 (more ad-libbing,
  and it's dark again blending into "Good King Rat")
