Alone Like..

lone like the light in a dark room

Is there anything that's in view?

My chances are just going to doom

Nothing in this light can leave a clue

 

Even if the sunshine lights upon me

It's just not enough to make me see

Life is not what others make it to be

Change the world with universal deeds

 

Alone like happiness in tragedies

Can anyone see the catastrophe?

The world I can't describe with certainty

Remember what you give is what you receive

Wish you luck when you decide to deceive

 

Even if happiness leaps into me

I'll always want something more to be

Nothing is nothing until it is seen

Change the world with universal deeds

 

Alone like peace during the wars

After it all, what is its ultimate cost?

To bad you can't just take off and soar

Although like life, not trying to be lost
