Has Two Eyes But Cannot See

Oh why? Oh why? Do I always cry? It never really did any good And that’s one thing I never understood It’s the way I vent ‘cause my life’s so bent All out of shape Because of the rape When I was only seven I should’ve gone to heaven But He made me stay ‘cause it’s the only way to figure it out What’s life all about? And now I’m 29 And at the end of the line It’s time to be me But he just doesn’t see What’s locked inside Of his foolish pride? To him this is life And I am his wife I want to be me But he just doesn’t see I don’t want to be poor I want a lot more A much better life But I am his wife I’m really not allowed To feel happy or proud I keep it inside There’s no place to hide The way that I feel So here’s the deal This is how it’s going to be I’m going to be me I’m getting a job I’m not going to be a slob For the rest of my life Whether or not I’m his wife Because of a friend My life’s on the mend To much brighter days I’m almost out of the haze!
