When I lose every game
When I sleep with solitude
When all the exits close on me
And the night won't leave me in peace
When I'm afraid of the silence
When it's hard to stay on my feet
When memories rebel
And pin me against the wall
Standing tall against everything
I'll turn into iron to toughen my skin
And even though the winds of life blow hard
I'm like the reed that bends
But always stays upright
I'll resist, to keep on living
I'll take the blows and I'll never give in
And even though my dreams shatter into pieces
When the world loses all its magic
When nostalgia stabs me
And I don't even recognize my own voice
When madness threatens me
When my coin comes up tails
When the devil hands me the bill
Or if someday I miss you
I'll resist, standing tall against everything
Into iron to toughen my skin
And even though the winds of life blow hard
I'm like the reed that bends but always stays upright
I'll resist, to keep on living
The blows and I'll never give in
And even though my dreams shatter into pieces
When I lose every game
When I sleep with solitude
When all the exits close on me
And the night won't leave me in peace
Standing tall against everything
I'll turn into iron to toughen my skin
And even though the winds of life blow hard
I'm like the reed that bends but always stays upright
The blows and I'll never give in
And even though my dreams shatter into pieces
