always !

if you could see what I saw ,

you´d turn blind ,

if you could hear what I hear ,

you´d become deaf ,

if you drank what I drank ,

you´d die of thirst ,

if you ate what I ate ,

you´d die from hunger ,

always ,

I question myself , always ,

I search for what is pure , always ,

if you went where I went ,

you´d turn lame ,

if you loved that which I have loved ,

they´d hate you ,

if you read what I have read ,

they´d persecute you ,

if you wrote what have I written ,

they´d burn you ,

always ,I question myself !

always ,I search for what is pure !

always !

I always question ,

always !

if you wore what I wore ,

they´d undress you ,

or if you traveled where I've traveled ,

they´d hunt you ,

if you said what I said ,

they´d tie you up ,

if you sang what I sang ,

they´d chase you ,

always !

always !

always , I question myself ,

always !always I search for what is pure , always !

I question !

always , I search !
