I seek the rhymes inside this head of mine;
Seeing the world now it's not that fine,
It's troubling having a tricky mind;
but hoping the kind Lord will shower what I'm longing to find.

Words that bring hope and beauty seem like magic;
but sometimes I ended up writing a story so tragic;
I forgot to turn my other cheek;
I was weak! I am weak to temptations if I may speak.

Unforgivable things I have done,
I expect now I will be hated by everyone;
but I do not mind that for now;
cause there are more important things for us to do anyhow.

If I could be in the presence of the Great Lord for you I beg and bow;
I'm not worthy to ask of You but we really need You now;
I don't know with other human beings but with myself, I'm in a constant war;
I'm fighting my wretched dark side I hated that side of me so far;

Human beings could be so wonderful and sadly cruelly ugly as we can see;
I don't know for others but in my experience, that is a reality for me;
I sometimes wonder in confusion and doubt that there are those who watch me;
I thank them and like it but at the same time a little bit angry;

But I blame no one I'm just superstitious kind of lowly human;
I'm not really sure if I'm right for the things that unfold and have been done;
It is sad to see the world suffering in a state of calamity;
Crazy wild weather and nations troubling everyone us you and me;

What can I do what can you do? Oh! help us, dear God;
I will not wash my hands as Pilate did, I need to spread some love.
I love and hate myself cause I could not trust the one I call me;
Nothing left for me to trust but you dear God as I can see;

This may sound like I'm a weakly foolish freak;
but the wretched dark side of me is playing me some trick;
Look at me now it's hard for me to trust;
I have given in into my desires of lust;

Maybe it's much better for me to be turned into dust;
but I still fight and struggle to rise back and I know I must;
The world is like a stage and we're all in a play;
when the curtains start to open what will we do or say;

Tragedy or comedy let us see what happened what will it be;
could we play the part that could touch the heart of you and me;
Even we try to stop it the tears flow in our very eyes;
when the foolish ones learn how to be kind and wise;

I'm a simple kind of human who just wishes to see the world in harmony;
not just the world but us human race everyone you and me;
The world itself now is not in balance;
Imagine a dancer forgot how to dance;

Shame on me you could all put the blame on me I'll embrace it;
but just promise to hold on and rise back and never quit;
Even if I'll be gone I hope the future generation will still do
gracefully stand and face all the storms that come may it be few;

You could call me crazy insane man but it's much better to have bad weather;
than seeing human beings slaughter each other, Cain and Abel are they brothers?
that is  one thing I really hate deep inside my aching bones ;
could it trigger or invoke what is on slumber on the deep unknown?

But if we could have good weather and a peaceful world I'll take that choice;
I'm just lowly unworthy man screaming for help for I have no voice;
With all the noise I make we make something someone has awoken;
Forgive me not, Oh! Lord and everyone for the foolish words I have spoken.
