[Verse 1: Johnny Tame]
I've been wasting my time tryin' hard to find
The things that everybody told, they'd have to be on my mind
Now I'm finding myself after bein' lost on a shelf
And I see that I've been saved in time, a quarter to twelve

[Chorus: Johnny Tame & Petter Maffay]
Now I'm strong in spite o' the weakness I feel
I found my way to the things that are real
It doesn't mean I'll be resting my bones
I ain't free, there are too many stones

[Verse 2: Johnny Tame]
In a changing of scene, havin' bad dreams
I could not imagine goin' up in this life's arena
Givin' it up means to throw expеrience away
Yet I'm old еnough to know I only live for today

[Chorus: Johnny Tame & Petter Maffay]
Now I'm strong in spite o' the weakness I feel
I found my way to the things that are real
It doesn't mean I'll be resting my bones
I ain't free, there are too many stones

[Verse 3: Johnny Tame]
In the deep sea where I was born, waitin' for the dawn
I've been hiding from the hard life in this shelter of mine
Now I've learnt from the past and I got to be fast
'Cause there's only a few chances, maybe one of the last
[Chorus: Johnny Tame & Petter Maffay]
While I'm strong in spite o' the weakness I feel
I found my way to the things that are real
It doesn't mean I'll be resting my bones
I ain't free, there are too many stones
Yes, I'm strong in spite o' the weakness I feel
I found my way to the things that are real
It doesn't mean I'll be resting my bones
I ain't free, there are too many stones
