When the idol falls

Since I was born he´s been my idol
I have worshiped him he´s my model
he´s taught me all he´s a king
I have imitated all his doing

Bridge:
Take care – you are growing up
Beware – now it´s time you are going to see
Danger doubts – are eating your mind
No way out – to avoid knowing all reality

Chorus:
When the idol falls – I don´t want to believe
When the idol falls – I am close to desperation
When the idol falls - it´s too great blow for me
When the idol falls – now where can I find salvation?

Adulting now I realize
My truth contains a part of lies
He´s not as perfect as he seems
Have I lived all the time only in dreams?

Bridge:
Take care – you are growing up
Beware – now it´s time you are going to see
Danger doubts – are eating your mind
No way out – to avoid knowing all reality

Chorus:
When the idol falls – I don´t want to believe
When the idol falls – I am close to desperation
When the idol falls - it´s too great blow for me
When the idol falls – now where can I find salvation?

He is no king he´s a man like me
But he´s honesty as he can be
And in spite of his shortcomings
Like him I still want to be

Chorus:
When the idol falls – I don´t want to believe
When the idol falls – I am close to desperation
When the idol falls - it´s too great blow for me
When the idol falls – now where can I find salvation?

This is very good Hugo. I really like the concept of the entire song. Very well done!

Me too Hugo, both the concept and your development are strong. Just a little advice on English

.. change "Be care" to either "Take care" of "Be careful"

.. "My truth contains of a part of lies" - leave out "of", or change it to "My truth consists partly of lies" or ".. consists in part of lies". In other words, don't use "of" with "contains", but do use it with "consists (of)".

.. "to avoid to knowing" - leave out the second "to", don't use it with participles or gerunds.

But that's just mechanics. Great job with lyrical construction, I like this.

Thank you OneSongWayne.
