Story Behind The Song
I was walking one day in Trafalgar square and tere was this small demonstration against sex trafficking in Romania.
I thought I should write a song about it.

Lyrics
Heaven's attic
You were meant to live to tell,
you were meant to say never give up,
you don't have to be afraid,
I've got here the keys to get you out,
there's a place not far away
where you can settle down and make a living,
seize the day, be my friend,
this could be your beautiful beginning
Show me the way to heaven's attic,
there are no pictures in the hall
and when the future looks fantastic
you never think about to fall...
Light a candle in the night
find the morning flowers on your bed,
there is hunger in your eyes,
there's a different world right on the edge,
sex for money to survive,
I know that this wasn't in your plan,
there are signposts in the sky,
there are streets to lead you out of hell
Show me the way to heaven's attic,
there are no pictures in the hall
and when the future looks fantastic,
you never think about to fall...
