Groping in the brightness of ignorance
I search for a better light

Blinded by the brightness of the darkness
That engulf my life

I need a saviour
A way to make things right

I am too young and inexperienced
To know the gamut of life

Deceived by the swiftness of my heart
And the weakness if my will

I pursue thorns
In the name of roses

What do l know of love?

My heart is serated by the teeth if reality
Struck by the arrows of Cupid
Struck so hard within
Its beats grow solid like Artic ice

And it tries to run
Runaway through my eyes

My heart speaks
My mouth beats

Tearing deep within
Into the ****** flesh of nature

What do I know right?

I need a saviour
I need a light to make things right

I am a teacher in a classroom of fools
To the wise I am a worthless tool

My only wisdom is foolishness
My pride is shame

Never will I again
Venture into pain

But I need a saviour
A person that to make things right
Because I alone can't do it

I need to make things right
Now that the time still ticks forward
And my shadow is not seen

I need to make things right
In preparation for when the hands of time will click backwards upon my shadow
They will see my trail leading to hope, light and gladness

I need to make things right
The author tries to express the foolishness that ran through his teenage age and his unpleasant encounter with love through his impulsive behaviour. He points out that he was utterly foolish and needs a guidance from a person who wasn't seeing the world from a clouded window like his. A saviour who sees the bright side of the world so that he too can lead him there.
