You stand alone,
head raised, eyes blurred
the only one fighting
fighting for a battle already lost

you strive to perfect
to engage in a miracle
extend your hand of help
to a world blinded by superficiality

they don't care

you care, because no one else does
it doesnt change the fact
that no one else cares
you plan to make a difference
but at what expense?

people die all the time
it's part of life,
you hope to stop the wars
to stop the genocide,
the murders, the homicide
the suicide,
when will it stop
when you say it will?

When will you learn?
What will it take for you to understand
that are all lost

we kill to gain
we cry to heal
we yearn to love
we act on instinct
and fail time after time

occasionally we get it right
but you stand alone...
you crave for a peace
that has long gone

time has changed
the era for healing is over
replaced by greed, money, death
accept it.

Deny it.
do whatever, but you stand alone
imagine the world as it once was
as it will no longer be that way again
we are too far advanced
we are 6 feet deep and going

You stand alone.
Face it and move on.
