Just to be there for the chance
To prove, just once
That I lived my life
For someone other than myself
I will feel the pain of others
And cry for no reason
In a world where no one understands
I will take my outstretched hand
And offer it to anyone
Arrogance and ignorance
Go hand in hand
There is no misery in not being loved
Only in not loving
I will walk between a memory
And a dream
For what lies ahead
I have no way of knowing
Looking for that thing
That’s hardest to find
Myself
Don’t point your finger
Or be slow to understand
Before you judge me
Take a look at yourself
Life is passing
Each moment a beginning
Believing only what you see
I will rise above
And love
Those who want it most
