There's a man
a very misunderstood man
who hides behind
the mask of a jester
He has flaws
lots of them
He uses these flaws
to make people laugh
He thought
making other people laugh
will make him happy
but he was wrong
Besides, who wants to be
laughed at anyway
So he tries to give out
a serious aura
but it's too late
The damage
has already been done
and it's his fault
It's his fault
that he's misunderstood
Maybe deep inside,
he just doesn't know
what makes him happy
He has a lot of dreams
but seems to be very far
from achieving them
He lost a lot of people
in his life
People he loved so much
He still has people
left in his life
that he loves so much
but just doesn't seem to know
how to show that love
and that affection
What's wrong with this man?
He seems to be lost
in this labyrinth
called life
He doesn't know
where to start again
He has been eaten up
by the system
The daily grind
of a life in the city
just to make ends meet
He is in too deep
What's wrong with this man?
Does heaven have a place
for the misunderstood?
