Story behind the song

A song about drugs and the way kids get into them.

Lyrics

See the children looking around,
Searching for a new way in.
Tears of laughter, cries of joy;
Never alone with their friends to guide them,
Pausing for just one moment in time,
Before jumping in without even thinking.

Chorus:
One stop to make a start.
One life in each reflection.
Two stops to make it better
More lives now lie broken
Three stops to make a move
One life in each reflection
Four stops turn full circle
Right back to the start

It can only mean so much,
To be once more in this room.
Looking out and all around them,
Their friends have gone back to the room.
Falling down in the darkness,
Hitting out at all the shapes and sounds.

Chorus

All alone in an empty world,
Their worst fears coming to life.
Sitting there, growing larger,
They have no friends to guide them.
Looking out and all around them
They stare straight into their own reflection.

Chorus

On the outside looking inside,
So many reflections do they see.
One reaches out a hand to hold them;
A new friend to pull them through.
They’re now one and many together
Walking out, they never look back.

Chorus (repeat)
