Invisible Shoes



Traveling in time
The mind is free to fly
One step behind
Going to the past for a while

No fairy tales are about to come
Swam songs are not mine to write
The sweet destiny of a prince is about to doom
And the key to the castle is out of sight

Can you hear and can you see?
One step behind I am about to be
I wish my life was so simple
In the empty world of invisible

Back in the word I write
Maybe two steps behind
Deeper in the past I fly
The clock ticks and I still try to find a reason to be

Take this nipple out of your face he said
While a child was laid to live
Or where a child was thought how to live
No complaints about the black and white were allowed

Can you hear and can you see?
I took one more step behind
And I am still looking for the colored blue skies
Invisible and unbelieved to the same eyes

Can you hear and can you see?
My footsteps gone with the sands of time
I am now walking many years ahead in time
Visible are my brand new small feet that play alive
