[Verse 1]
I thought I met a man
Who said he knew a man
Who knew what was going on

[Chorus]
I was mistaken
Only another stranger
That I knew

[Verse 2]
I thought I'd found a light
To guide me through the night
In all this darkness

[Chorus]
I was mistaken
Only reflections of a shadow
That I'd seen before

[Verse 3]
I thought I'd seen someone
Who seemed, who seemed at last
To know the truth

[Chorus]
I was mistaken
It was only a child
He was laughing, playing in the sun
[Refrain]
In the sun
