Vow
To whom do I pledge allegiance?
To whom do I vow?
What is my existence for?
To live I don’t know how

Today I fight my worries
My doubts and inner fears
To live and love another
And wash away their tears?

To whom do I pledge allegiance?
To whom do I vow?
What is my existence for?
To live I don’t know how

I vow to do my best
At what I do not know?
To improve the tiny things I do
Spread happiness as I go?

To whom do I pledge allegiance?
To whom do I vow?
What is my existence for?
To live I don’t know how

For what is right is oft proved wrong
Within the course of time
But as the wheel turns on and on
I seem to toe the line

To whom do I pledge allegiance?
To whom do I vow?
What is my existence for?
To live I don’t know how

Perhaps it is the simple things
The holding of the door
The phone call to a friend in need
That live for ever more

To whom do I pledge allegiance?
To whom do I vow?
What is my existence for?
To live I don’t know how

To monarch, country or to Gods
To fathers or to mothers
To gang lords wearing city suits
To nature or to lovers

To whom do I pledge allegiance?
To whom do I vow?
What is my existence for?
To live I don’t know how
