Sensitive child
Feint-hearted

Its too hard
Can't take it
Can't see it
Wont hear it

The sight of hatred
Makes him pain

How can someone
Knowingly cause others pain
To feel happiness of their own

So of course
I thought I'd make a difference

People would be taking vacations on the moon by then
and cars would be flying like plains

I'd be famous and my friends too
For being who we are

There'd be one country
in the whole wide world

We'd all say hi in Chinese,
Adios in fransçais,
Et comment ça va in Benghali

We'd all like each other
and we wouldn't even know why

Hating would be out of style
We'd be laughing all the while

I'd be one of the wealthiest people in the world
Because the newest currency would be happiness

God don't leave me behind

I'm not a ******
And I'm no thief

You show me love
Through every way
You know how

And ignore you, all the same
I don't acknowledge you as much as I should
Yet you bless me

I try to mend broken hearts
I care for those who don't care about themselves
I strive to make this world a better place

Isn't that enough to hear at least a word

I wished I loved you as much as my lover does
But I don't want to love you because I'm afraid my lover will eventually leave me if I soon don't

Although not loud enough to drown my praise and love for you
Small thoughts linger in my mind wondering if there's anyone out there hearing my pleas

I want to edify people's lives
But what good am I without you
But all the same I ain't no saint or priest

Can I deal with not believing in you?
If not you, than who or what

I'm distraught, and falling apart
Yet when I forget to remember you are there
I seem to be alright

What if I get to the point where you completely leave my mind
Nonsense, hope I fear not that thought

Strip me down and take me bare
Take everything away from me
And give it to someone who deserves it more
Perhaps my lover is overdue for your bliss

I know I ain't no one to demand you show yourself to me

Make me miserable and take me on a search
Trouble me until you show me light or let me die

I don't want to be voluntary to your love
You must force me to focus my love on you and no one else

How can this burning love and pain for humanity
Be randomly in my soul
Surely, there's something that's pushing me there
And that has to be you

My carnal body sins and I'm ashamed
But if you really want to show your love
Control my mind

My body ain't worth a dime
But my soul screams I want out!
There is a spirit in me and its searching for that place it belongs

The thought of a mechanism in the psychology of my mind
Faintly lingers while I research myself

Pure intentions then fight with cynicism invading the border lines

But how can man manufacture the soul
Am I being cynical for thinking maybe someone has or soon will

God is there a point in not believing in anything
Converting and finding myself in such a way is just a game

How can there be meaningfulness and purpose without faith
You have to be real but why don't I consider you in everything I do

Life is going so fast
I stray away from hearing
Music praising your name
Because I'm ashamed that I haven't prayed today

Suddenly I get annoyed
Why? Because I'm reminded to thank you for keeping me alive

You should be the center of my day
I'm sorry
In your love I want to change

And I don't want to feel guilty about being with the one I love

God don't leave me behind

I love the color of your skin
the only color that my heart can see
Is the one that we both share

No matter if you're purple and I'm green
No matter how much it seems that we differ
We are both one color

It's the color of love
It's the color of love
Which makes us all the same

It's who we are
Not what we are
that draws the line of definition

It's the color of our character
It's the color of our character
Which tells us who is different
And who is the same

It's the way that we decide to live side by side
and show a gesture of love to our brethren
or get away and annihilate the other side with signs of hatred
Which confuses us about our true colors
the ones we show when we radiate with love and kindness

It's the color of smiles
It's the color of smiles
that makes us forget differences and complexities
and brings us together just to have a good time

It's the color of peace
that we should try to portray
because in the real world
there is no black or white
there is only true colors, the ones we show
the one we share

Time, try and revenge me
Love, bereft me
Take control and break me

Money, try and trick me
Recognition, deceit me
Take control and addict me

I’ll be laughing
Even before you realize
You can’t take me

Anger, come try and fill me
Hatred, contend with me
Take control and blind me

Loneliness, try and consume me
Fear, run me down and corner me
Take control and weaken me

I’ll be laughing
Even before you realize
You can’t take me

Life, take care of me
Take a bite out of me
And destroy me

I'll be gone
Before you can shout glory

It is something about the human condition

When so immersed in ourselves, we are
Remembering not, we are not alone
Growing barriers, we do allow

Self sufficient, we tend to become
And those around us are no longer there
As with a world of private problems,we are engulfed

It is something about the human condition

When alone in this world, we feel
Though there are more than six billion souls yearning
For a sense of belonging

Thus hopeless, we go through the journey alone
and on a rampage, is the fear
That separates our soul from true happiness

It is something about the human condition

When alone, we think we are
Though love is boundless
Waiting for seekers
If we'd only be willing to find it

Lost in isolation
Is left, the beauty we can share
Because too afraid, we are
To the world, let it show

The human condition
Not the same for everyone
We think
It's inevitable to feel alone
We can't all belong
Togetherness, now there's something wrong

Yet tears, we all cry
And smiles, we all show

It's something about the human condition
We all share

I love you

But I don't even miss you
Known each other for years
but life has finally led us apart

Suddenly your confused
Why do I love you so much
When you're so different than I

Can this friendship withstand
The test of a passing time

We're so far apart
We enjoy a laugh with someone else
And we forget to text back
Because were having a good time

I love you, I guess
Its been so long how could I not
But I don't even miss you
When I have to go out there alone
having an adventure everyday

You're no longer there
Beside every step I take
I used to think it would be impossible
Without you being there by my side
Thought I would be lost

Truth is I'm fine going at it alone
I'm spreading my wings and we're drifting apart

But don't worry this friendship is still intact
We ain't going nowhere

And even if we cease being friends
You will always be a part of my heart
