there was a hint of danger
they told him it's ok
there was a chance of failure
they told him it's alright
a false security driven by
a weakened state of mind
it's calling and calling

he had a big decision
they told him it's ok
bound by his inhibitions
they told him it's alright
time for reality
time to gain control of his own life
it's calling and calling

do you know what is wrong?
try to keep it in line
you can't go back (can't go back)
there must be something

he tried
once was not enough
they told him it's alright
he tried
wasn't good enough
that doesn't make it right
