when the miracle worker can open up his eyes
he sees the truth and lies in their disguises
makes no difference if you laugh or criticize
when he's holding his breath
though he cannot remember the dark and dirty past
he keeps his broken bones in a cast
takes what he wants and needs from that which lasts
as he holds his breath
she was beautiful she never ceased to understand
she held his problems safely in her hands
but he could not speak his mind as he had planned
cause he was holding his breath
now the miracle worker is somewhere very cold
all that once glittered wasn't really gold
now he can't tell if he's young or if he's old
cause he's holding his breath
