AYREON (ARJEN LUCASSEN):
I can smell the grass, and touch the flowers.
Among the trees, I pass the hours and fantasize.
I let the dance of nature inspire me.
Now my mind is free from apparitions.
I switch off like a 'television', and close my eyes.
And I wish that I could see like everybody can...
How I wish that I could be like any other man...
I can't see the sun, but I sense its glow.
I hear the sound of water flowing down the stream.
And my heart cries out for a little bit o' love.
But I know that it was not meant to be.
So I fulfill my destiny and accept my fate.
Still I wish that I could see like everybody can... (Like everybody can...)
How I wish that I could be like any other man...
