A BILLION SOULS AND STILL ALONE picks up the thought of the insuperableness of the boundaries between two individuals. No matter how close we come to each other, everything stays indirect and we don’t see through the other’s eyes, don’t hear with their ears, we don’t feel like them.
lyrics
Face to face, hand in hand
Sharing time and space
From start to end
We're all human
Foes or friends
Words described pure and clear
What we feel inside
Joy and fear
What's in you, what's in me?
Doubts appear
Born in dust, grown in water
Made of flesh, made of bone
Way down here through the decades
A billion souls all still alone
Our love is true, stand by me
As I fight for you
Can't you see
There's a distance
Locked by key
Hearts and souls, human minds
Sharing aims and goals
But still too blind
Just to find out what is behind
Born in dust, grown in water
Made of flesh made of bone
Way down here through the decades
A billion souls all still alone
A flash of thoughts an overflow
Whenever humans try
To share an inner state of mind
When feelings are flying high
So seperate, marooned and stuck
Our hopes are running dry
We cannot join another soul
Before we're gonna die
