Why must I, be the one
To save the world, from the corruption
That burns within the human soul, threatening society
The corruption, that seeks to destroy
What all remains of humanity, and all life as we know it
Why am I, the one who was chosen
To lead the army, to destroy what wants to destroy us
I can only see, possible defeat, if I cannot save everyone
From what burns inside their very being, and taints their soul
How can I, how can I save those who need help
Who need to be saved, who seek my aid
They claim I can make it all better, that I can save them from this world
That I will make the difference; that I will end this corruption
Once and for all, by way of my good heart
If only they knew, if only
If only they knew, that I’m but a simple guy
Who helps out when others need a shoulder to cry on,
An ear to listen to their problems,
A mouth to soothe and console their fears,
And a heart, ready to sacrifice for the good of others
And they wish, for me,
To end this corruption, to be their savior
I might as well try, they are all relying on me
But, I still wonder,
Why does this happen to ME?
