lyrics to a song

(c) c-schmugar@nwu.edu


I live my life
Under the microscope
I'm picked apart for free

I've lost all sight
Of that ray of hope
I'm not what they want me to be
*
Is it such a crime
To fall short of perfection
I've done the best I could

I never go
In the right direction
I'm always misunderstood
*
Is it the calling of another
To call out the faults of a brother

Why can't they help the weak to be strong
They can't be right, why am I wrong
*
Everyone always has their say
But maybe I won't even care someday

Until then this world keeps on haunting me
Will I ever be what I wish I could be

I hope and I pray that the world could see
The good, not the bad, in me
