Текст Paul Williams – Till You’re Loved

You may start in the trenches
And rise through the ranks
Till your wildest dreams have come true
Make your mark as a hero, that everyone thanks

You can play to the masses
Entertain kings
But alone in the quiet, it won’t mean a thing
Till you’re loved
Till you’re loved

You can look to the scholars
And study their works
Forever expanding your mind
You can turn to the poets
Each time your heart hurts
They’ll offer you reason and rhyme
You can shoot for the moon, follow your bliss
But a dream ain’t a dream
And a kiss ain’t a kiss
Till you’re loved

Life as you know it can change in a moment
When somebody whispers three words in your ear
Even lost and forsaken, your confidence shaken
One tender touch and it all becomes clear

You can live in a castle
Surrounded by walls
Desperately trying to hide
And live with the loneliness haunting those halls
With a heart that is empty inside
You’re more like a prisoner the longer you wait
