Walking by the River

Walking by the river
Where the wall went down
I know why I'm here
But I don't know how

I got to Berlin
When all I am
Is an insecure man
With a weak back hand

Oh I feel the shiver
As my light dies out
But I got to deliver to the talent scout

It is now or never
It is go or stay
But if I ain't together
I'll be on my way

But oh I'm tired
Of running away
Oh I'm tired
Of hiding the shame
Under layers of clothes
And under excuses I wrote

And I want to get better
And I guess I am
Everyone is happy
And I've got a band
I'm holding on to this
The last thing on the list

Knowing most young kings get their heads cut of
I can't shake the feeling that I've had enough
But time it passes on and here I am
Writing my songs
My dreams, my plans

Show me more than rivers show me more than pain
I want to tell you stories but I have no name
I blame myself for dreaming and all my thoughts
Cause inside I am screaming I guess that's the cost
