Lyrics:

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...
