[intro] [Verse 1] Fences, Raised behind the fences Walls, Walls were built to stay. Rules, Rules were carved in silence My desire for freedom, it called my heart away [Chorus] I had to see, what was unknown I had to discover, I had to go. There´s so much more in life And beyond the walls, I felt alive, — Freedom beckons more than the safety I had before. [Verse 2] Returned with knowledge, I had learned The youth was curious, the elder turned They made me stay, I was forbidden to leave But Longing grew, more than fear that kept me there. [Chorus] I had to see, what was unknown I had to discover, I had to go. There´s so much more in life And beyond the walls, I felt alive, — Freedom beckons more than the safety I had before. [Bridge] They tried to call me back again, But I had already crossed the line, Once you’ve tasted endless roads, No borders can confine. [Final Chorus (lifted)] I had to see, what was unknown I had to discover, I had to go. There´s so much more in life And beyond the walls, I felt alive, — Freedom beckons more than the safety I had before.
