But you choose, you choose, yes you choose not to see it
 And then you wonder why you fall
 It cuts through the heart of every city
 If you climb to the top of the highest building
 You can see where it falls 'cause the streetlights stop
 The colours start to change
 You hear a voice inside you
 Not the words that you wanted to hear
 Not the things that you wanted to see

 In the comfort and safety of your own home
 Remember those outside in the cold
 And the wind and the rain
 And take in your hands a little ray of light
 And turn it into a beam that pierces the darkness of the night

 There's always been a dividing line
 But you choose, you choose, yes you choose not to see it
 Sometimes we believe if we close our eyes
 The rain might wash it away
 That's why we stumble and we fall
 Not the words that you wanted to hear
 Not the things that you wanted to see

 When everything that you hold dear to you
 Has finally faded away from your life
 And the last cold ray of sunshine slowly disappears
 Round the corner of the building
 And leaves you alone
 When darkness covers the city and the streets are silent too
 What will you turn to
