After all the hurt and pain I’ve seen, I realize things aren’t what they seem
Life is one unconscious stream, to most a nightmare; some a dream
I like to say I think things through but don’t know if I really do
Can’t comprehend the things He knew and yet I keep on trying to
It simply can’t be justified, His answers – I’m not satisfied
After all those nights I cried, in silence now I must confide
They say his plan is just too grand, his reasons we can’t understand
No longer will I idly stand, to You right now God, I demand
This hatred was my missing link, the ship You sail I’ve set to sink
I care not for what others think, these words I write in blood and ink
I look you now right in the eye. Why was it her who had to die?
This place you’ve made; it is not just
Deceit. Corruption. Betrayal. Lust.
That is the world on which we’re thrust
Shining once, now rot and rust
This isn’t what you and Abe should have discussed
This world should be love. One of laughter; robust
Yet I look all around and see so much disgust
Poor, helpless families that never adjust
You had so many ashes; all you created was dust
So I stand here before you, because someone must.
I take my life back now, God. You’ve broken my trust.
