I think that I am all alone
then the wind whispers to me
telling me age old secrets from the trees

I think that I am all alone
when a lightning bug lands on me
it flits, it flights, it lights up the night

I think that I am all alone
when I look up to see a shooting star
no longer wondering where you are

and I just smile and send up my wish and prayer
to that wondrous castle in the air

Life is just a game*
You are only known by other's through your character's name

The way it will go
Will depend on how much you'll know

So maybe we should all try to understand the lessons
Use it for good and uncover life's real reasons

I gave up on "real love" long ago
Amid all of the emotional pain
I realized "who am I kidding?"
It's over before it even began.

I watch as it suffocates for one last time,
This heart of mine still beating slowly,
Laying on the ground, before it loses
Every last ounce of hope I've ever found.

I am human in this big world
I might be warm, I might be cold
Sometimes I'm weak I need to hold
A heart of gold, a heart of gold

If I'm afraid I wear a hood
I don't do all the things I could
Sometimes I feel to hide my mood
I'm not so good, I'm not so good

In my weakness, I still feel strong
I find my voice and sing my song
Though I don't know where I belong
This can't be wrong, this can't be wrong

When I am strong, I never boast
Though triumphs need a simple toast
Like ship that sails into the coast
Back to my post, back to my post

I am human, I tell this straight
Sometimes I see you fill my plate
I would get mad, I also hate
I am not great, I am not great

I cannot see myself somehow
How I will smile a year from now
But I believe God will allow
I take a bow, I take a bow
