But to you and me it

means a total change.

People think they're free,

but freedom doesn't exist.

Just laws that unknown people

made to protect themselves...

...that lock me and my sadness away.

One of those laws says

I can not love you...

...because you're my daughter.

And why?

I bet they don't forbid it because

it's a wrong thing to do...

...but because it's too strong.

In our case there is no other solution.

I love you...

...and nothing else.
