I Don't Understand...
I don’t understand
why there has to be pain, it’s hard to keep sane
why life can be so hard, why everyone lives in a junk yard
why someone can hurt another with ease and cause violence if they please.
But most of all
why people can’t just get along, it’s simple, sung in every song
why our motivation is lost, why we’re paying the cost
why we set our standards low, it’s our own virtue we’ve sunken below
why the word love is not special anymore, why we throw that feeling out the door
What I understand most is
why I need to keep him nearby, why every child has to cry
why we need to forgive, repeat apologies so we may live,
why my love for them is so strong, why we’re put here for so long,
why I gave to keep on going no matter how hard, why my heart is a broken shard.
