[Verse 1]
Once I was a boy
An innocent to life and my role in it
This world played my game
And anyone a clown or foil form myself

[Verse 2]
The harmless affairs
And no-one seemed to care for any meaning
My life was my own
The debt I paid, I paid it only to myself

[Verse 3]
The unseeing youth
How can it be so shallow and short-sighted
These years passed me by
To realise the folly of these unripe years

[Bridge]
Now I am a man, I realise
My unworldly sins pained many lives
Yet I heard, heard with ears that wouldn't listen
And still, I watched and I saw with blinkered eyes
But with age the conscience slowly dawns
And bonds of duty gently tied
All my sins, seen through now there is experience
And recollecting act in virgin guise
[Chorus]
Master inner voices, making the choices
Master inner voices, making the choices

[Instrumental Break 3:46 - 5:07]

[Chorus]
Master inner voices, making the choices
Master inner voices, making the choices

[Instrumental Break 5:27 - 6:18]

[Verse 4]
Once I could rebel
And consequences then had no reflection
And I am a man
And I am bound by adult age discretion now
