Title: Absolute Beginners

Lyrics by AB2

In echoed steps I walked

across an empty dream

I looked across this world,

there was no one to be seen

This empty feeling turned

and quietly walked away

I saw no warmth in life,

no love was in my eyes

I stared a century thinking

this will never change

As I hesitated,

time rushed onwards without me

Too scared to break the spell,

too small to take a fall

But the Absolute luck is,

love is in our hearts

I lost some hours thinking of it

I need the strength to go

and get what I want

I lost a lifetime thinking of it

and lost an era daydreaming like I do

this would never change

time marched onwards without me

In echoed steps you walk

But look around this world,

there's millions to be seen

Come see the tyrants panic

see their crumbling empires fall

Then tell 'em we don't fight for fools,

'cos love is in our hearts!

and lost an era

daydreaming like I do

You can lose some hours

thinking of it

You need the strength to go

and get what you want

You can lose a lifetime

And lose an era
