I can't breathe when I see how much we suffer
We are all connected through life and need to learn to hold onto one another
I will never understand how you can be so selfish
A person is a person, no matter how much their wealth is
I want to tell every single good influence in my life
About my gratitude and love for helping me through the strife
And though I feel alone more often than not
I know I wouldn't be treading this well on my own after the water got hot
If I could beg for a moment of silence all around the world
I would preach for the same beliefs you can find inside a little girl
No one person is better than the next
For anything related to their pay checks
A road less traveled and I'm walking alone
Picking up passengers who are hitching from home
On my good nature, will, and graces
Dragging me down to much darker places
And then the sin slips in and that's when it all starts
You forget your beliefs and let the dark in your heart
And turn on one another because no one understands you
They turn on you because of something they'll misconstrue
When we're just turning because we're hurtin and we don't know what to do
And society tells to drown it with liquor
But we don't realize it helps the hurt set quicker
You don't even realize it but you're waking up alone
In a house full of strangers in a home you used to own
And you glance at your reflection not even knowing that person
And somehow its God that you're cursin?
Wake up, there is so much more to this life
You don't have to follow my path or any of my advice
Except do good, its as simple as that
You'll be surprised with the places you find yourself at
