In the beginning of my life
Everything I saw was light
And every door stood open for me
But now I'm getting tired
And now I'm getting tired
I crossed my heart for you
I felt something for you
But day after day
They took something away
They took something away
I was standing at the bottom of the hole
And you, you were searching for your own reward
And all our friends would laugh at me
Because I never knew that it all was au fait
So liberty liberty, grim
Liberty for my own sake
When I was in your hands
When I was in your hands
They can send me away
To a mansion cold and grey
I don't care it any more
I just turn my face around
I just turn my face around
I was standing at the bottom of the hole
And you, you were searching for your own reward
So liberty, liberty, grim
Liberty for my own sake
When I was in your hands
When I was in your hands
They can send me away
To a mansion cold and grey
I don't care it any more
I just turn my face around
I just turn my face around
I was standing at the bottom of the hole
And you, you were searching for your own reward
And all our friends would laugh at me
Because I never knew that it all was au fait
So liberty, liberty, grim
Liberty for my own sake
Well I was in your hands
Well I was in your hands
