What am I
but just another
only trying to get by
on hope with wings broken
falling just to stand
and try it over again

What am I
but just another
grain of sand
no different from any other
in dreams that now awakes

What am I
but just one more fighter
fighting to stay alive
dying inside to live
and just living to die
doing what it takes
just to survive

What am I
but just my own teacher
learning with my mistakes
things I did not know
only these lessons can show

What am I
but just another taker
of things I took for granted
that I should not have wanted
in a world growing cold
I now grasp to hold

What am I
but just another part
of this society
with a heart yearning to give
looking for a new start
with each day I grow old

What am I
but only a preacher
of my own words spoken
waiting to meet my maker
with faith in my hand
praying for my soul
that He may forgive
the things I once did not see
