Can I refrain,
May I explain?
The simple truth that I sang
Has been washed away by rain

I wish you had listened
The lost tears that now glisten
Are running down your face
Without elegance or grace

{Chorus}
You had your chance
When the listening was easy
Now you look away
Now your last resort is to pray

The truth is ever changing
It's multiple meanings are ranging
Is it hard to try arranging it
When the money at hand: exchanging

{Chorus}
You had your chance
When the listening was easy
Now you look away
Now your last resort is to pray

{Ending; whispered}
I beg of you to pray
