I don't remember when
I don't remember when I I lost that feeling
Like anything could happen
So long as I kept on dreaming
But I can recall a time
When all the flashing lights felt like blessings
And now I shield my eyes afraid they'll bleed me dry without pity
I hear children say
I want the world to know my name
Oh, the quiet nights
Drifting undisguised on a street of strangers
Wondering if by tomorrow morning I will be down to my last dime
Where does fortune lie
If they believe that I have no further left to climb
Looking down below
It's rare for them to know just how lucky they are
I hear children say
I want the world to know my name
I hear children say
I want the world to know my name
I cannot help but say
I wish the world did not
I wish the world did not know my name
