Rick Springfield - Beautiful prize

Tekst :

The father giveth, and the father taketh away
Johanna prays in her bed
He drinks his beer to the TV chatter
Thinks dark thoughts in his head
When the house that he keeps with his hard won pay
Is finally asleep after his brutal day
He turns his eyes on his beautiful prize
Johanna watches her door open just a crack
And a hand that once held her runs down the length of her back
Her fallen angel lies down on her bed
So much confusion in her beautiful head
Johanna closes her eyes

In a house full of secrets the truth doesn t matter
Johanna buries her shame and dreams of redemption
They just scatter, she grows numb to the pain
She can t remember how it was before
And she doesn t know who she is anymore
She s in disguise as his Beautiful Prize

Johanna watches her life from the outside
And she dreams that one day she ll fly free from this mess
She s a hawk trying to soar with a broken wing
And she doesn t talk anymore about anything
She just closes her eyes

She just can t stand his anger, she just can t bear his heat
She takes a long hard look at life on the street, yeah
In a house full of secrets the truth doesn t matter
And any dreams of salvation, they just shatter

Johanna watches the world from the outside,
And she dreams of the day she ll fly free from this mess
She doesn t know what she s waiting for
Cause there s nothing left in this house anymore
And in his eyes she s just a Beautiful Prize

Oh, Johanna just a Beautiful Prize...
Yeah, Johanna...
Oh, Hanna...

    In all that time

    In a silent world
    I had lived without sight or sound
    In all that time

    You know I felt that shame
    But I put the blame on everyone around
    In all that time

    And I had lost all of my power, my...

    The dream

    Can t believe
    Out of time
    Look down, but I m afraid to fall

    Solitude
    On sleeping sand
    That voice is taking me away

    And I feel I m floating downstream
    Emptiness
    Just like I ve never been born

    Thinking to myself

    Beware of whats around you. the elements of life will
    sometimes take you in. bad things always surround you.
    its your choice now to think. crime is easy to come by
    and temptation is bound to bring you down. corruption
    distorts your judgement and it seems...

    Absolutely not

    Always waitin? for someone
    To make me happy, pick me up
    I realize that someone is me
    What you call life, that ain?t livin?
    Bless the child that?s got his own
    It?s my season, now I stand alone
    Just thought that I would let...

    W biegu

    Znowu to samo
    znowu biegnę bo coś każe biec
    chciałabym bardzo
    choć na chwilę zobaczyć cię
    biegnę za szybko
    gubiąc po drodze wszystko co jeszcze ważne jest
    nic się nie stało
    mówią ci co mijają mnie
    niezwykła to siła jest
    niesie mnie coraz dalej od ciebie
    nie mogę zatrzymać się
