So you sent me on my wayAnd I came upon the strangest peopleAll of them with worn-out reasonsAnd they persuaded me to stayAnd they persuaded me to share myselfI came so far, I came to learnAnd they told me of my isolationGave me gifts that had no valueAnd I returned all I possessedAnd then they showed me how to give myselfAll men are my equals nowI see myself in everyoneAnd everyone can see themselves in meAnd I can show you how to lose yourselfNow left alone, I lose controlI find myself without protectionIn my weakness you support meFor should one fall, so will we allAnd then they showed me how to save myself for them
