Well his father always told him
Nah, ayahnya selalu bilang padanya
Dia dilahirkan sebagai orang yang kalah
He was born the losing kind
Aku tanya kapan dia bakal ninggalin
I asked him when he'd leave behind
Dunia malam yang dia huni
The night time world
Di kepalanya sendiri
He lived for in his mind

He lingered on the stairway
Dia terdiam di tangga
Then he went into his room
Lalu masuk ke kamarnya
Slammed the door in anger
Ngebanting pintu karena marah
And looked into the mirror
Dan melihat ke cermin
On the wall in awe
Di dinding dengan takjub
At the reflections that he saw
Melihat bayangan yang dia lihat
There was no book
Gak ada buku
To tell him how to look
Yang bisa ngajarin dia cara melihat

Then his heart told him
Lalu hatinya bilang padanya
He must break out of his cage
Dia harus keluar dari sangkar
With his head held up high
Dengan kepala terangkat tinggi
To the sky
Menuju langit
He was off, on the stage
Dia pergi, menuju panggung

Well he played the greatest solo
Dia main solo terhebat
That the world had ever heard
Yang pernah didengar dunia
The audience applauded
Penonton bertepuk tangan
And the fans held on to
Dan para penggemar menggenggam
Every other word he said
Setiap kata yang dia ucapkan
As it came into his head
Saat itu muncul di kepalanya
The girls came round
Cewek-cewek datang
To hear his every sound
Untuk mendengar setiap suaranya

Repeat Chorus

There was a knock upon his door
Ada ketukan di pintunya
And he was blown away
Dan dia terkejut
Out of his dreams to face
Keluar dari mimpinya untuk menghadapi
The problems of the day
Masalah sehari-hari

Then his heart told him
Lalu hatinya bilang padanya
He must break out of his cage
Dia harus keluar dari sangkar
With his head held up high
Dengan kepala terangkat tinggi
To the sky
Menuju langit
He was there
Dia ada di sana
Aah aah, aah aah, aah aah, aah aah
Aah aah, aah aah, aah aah, aah aah
