My life is crumbling
and all I can do
is stand here, waiting for help.
I've helped myself all I can,
and bad things keep happening.
I need company,
I need love,
I need comfort.
My life is crumbling
and all I can do
is watch.

Today I crossed the sea of love
Guided by a albino dove
I rode the my raft quite a way
'Till I ran aground upon your bay

Today I rode the sea of hell
Caught underneath your witch-like spell
I rode the waves 'Till I saw land
And off I got onto burning sand

Today I rode the sea of death
Watching you breath less and less
Then as you passed off up above
I cursed the dreaded sea of love...

When no-one knows just what I feel
By my side you come to kneel
You talk it through and help me think
You find what's wrong, you find the link

When I am hurt and feel so down
In my ear comes a soothing sound
You whisper with care, you whisper what's right
You help me get through the dreaded night

When I am red with anger and hate
You are there, you wait and wait
And when I need to talk it away
You are there with me to stay

Wherever I am, whatever I need
Whether I'm pained, whether I bleed
You will cross across the land
You are here to understand

We are all equal
Our bodies may differ
As may our minds
And some may be more complicated
Than the creation of the universe alone
But let me say this
You too are different
So is the next man or woman
All with individual faults
All with secrets as big as yours
And all following their own path
For difference unites us
Difference move us on
And though it may be hard to accept
The next annoying being who crosses your path
Just think
Who do you annoy?
For that makes you equal
To that person who pokes you
To the person who is immature
To the person who you think the worst
We are all equal...

My soul is free this winters night
Upon this street with drunken fights
And all the world awaits the dawn
And Await the sight of a snowy lawn

But I'm not here, no-one knows
Upon my grave the flowers grow
And under the roof my children cry
As only one year has passed them by

And my eyes are filled with salty tears
And my mind is filled with you my dear
For sorry I am that there I'm not
These memories won't be forgot

So thank you war for taking life
This Afghan fighter was hit by strife
And no-one now is here to see
All that I was going to be...

I try to escape, I try to fly
But you pull me down, you love my cries
It gives you strength to carry on
Not right from what is wrong

I try to run, I try to go
But you catch me back and stop my flow
You beat me down and stop my life
You make the days fill with strife

I try to tell, I try to speak
My future looks oh so bleak
This is not how I want to die
But you hold me back each time I try
