Ik
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Als kind accepteer je een heleboel dingen
De zeilschool en de zwemles en de padvinderij
En als ze thuis over 't haar blijven zeuren
Knip je dat tegenstribbelend bij
Maar diep binnenin kom je in opstand
Diep binnenin, daar krijg je 't verzet
Eigenlijk vind je je ouders maar knudde
Dus wordt het tijd om 't juk af te schudden
En je roept: "Ouders, opgelet!
Ik ben het midden
Om mij draait de zon
Ik ben de oorzaak
Waarom alles begon
Ik ben de spil
En de zin van 't bestaan
Bij mij eindigt alles
En bij mij vangt het aan
Geen vader, geen moeder
En geen maatschappij
Ontneemt me 't gevoel
Dat het toch draait om mij
Geen historisch besef
En geen Bijbelse blik
In 't begin was het Woord
En 't Woord, dat ben ik!"
