Lyrics

For a moment at least

Expressing a brief period

He'd found release

He experienced a sense of freedom or relief

His harmony with the air

His connection or synchronization with the atmosphere

Temporary wings

Metaphorical reference to fleeting ability to soar or fly

As he felt the wind

Sensation of air moving swiftly through his hair

Rushing through his hair

His experience of the wind rushing through his hair


Who can blame him?

Questioning who can find fault or hold him accountable

Who'll be the judge?

Asking who will pass judgment


Don't be too harsh life is too much [4x]

Advice not to be overly critical as life is overwhelming (repeated 4 times)


Who can blame him?

Reiteration of questioning who can find fault

Who'll be the judge?

Reiteration of asking who will pass judgment


When he finally fell

When he eventually fell

It broke the spell

It disrupted a certain enchantment or illusion

His anguished frame besides

His pained and tormented body beside

But a moment at least

Another fleeting moment of freedom and tranquility

Release and some peace

Expressing hope that this feeling remained within him

I hope it remained inside


Who can blame him?

Repeated questioning of who can find fault

Who'll be the judge?

Repeated query about who will pass judgment

Who'll be the judge?

Reiteration of the inquiry about who will pass judgment
