Front door is open
But nobody is coming
Sun shining outside
Dark here alone

Where have I been
What was I doing
To be like this
Dark here alone

Is this right for me
Never what I thought
Wasn't in the plan
Dark here alone

Feeling peaceful
Knowing I am loved
Door is open
Nobody coming in

Loving myself is new
Maybe this time needs just me
Is the outside calling
Maybe the door is for me

Inside I am thinking feeling
No longer tears streaming
Finding a new me
Dark here alone

Doors have been long been closed
But today front door is open
Sunshine coming inside
Clearing the darkness

Company President gets a multi-million raise
While he eliminates peoples jobs
How is that right?

Elected government officials get lifetime salaries
While they wreck our country
How is that right?

Reality show contestants are celebrated
While fighting and being rude
How is that right?

Religious stance screams loudly
While murdering others differences
How is that right?

People lie, cheat and steal
While blaming others for their pain
How is that right?

People fill their bathtubs with gold
While children are starving
How is that right?

We teach algebra and chemistry
While ignoring love and compassion
How is that right?

We are so busy with our opinions
While not listening to others
How is that right?

We build mansions for two people
While the streets house the growing homeless
How is that right?

We send soldiers to fight for our freedom
While ignoring them when they come home wounded
How is that right?

Why do we listen to politicians
While ignoring scientists about our earth
How is that right?

How can you throw stones
While hiding behind technology
How is that right?

Why do men call them ******
While paying women less
How is that right?

How is that right?
How is that right?
How is that right?

When did I give up on me
Where is my love for me
Why do I accept less

Yesterday weighs me down
Pulls me back away from me
Keeps me frozen in time

Yesterday is history
Now is now
Tomorrow is tomorrow
Where is my love for me

Tomorrow is distant
I don't know where I will be
I don't know what I want

Yesterday is gone
Today is today
Tomorrow will never come
Where is my love for me

Now I am with me thinking
About yesterday and tomorrow
Not now not here

Yesterday is gone
Breathe this second in deeply
Tomorrow will never come
Where is my love for me

— The End —
