Why Should I

Shall I succed in my undertakings If I don’t listen to all their warnings? Shall I paint the sky with another hue Just to give beauty it’s real value Should I be ashamed of my past action If everything they knew were just suspicion Shall I pull the stars to make light Or cry out for help tonight My mind is filled with doubts and confusion But my heart if full of mere determination But I know I’m not the type whop plays the game Then make up excuses to save myself from blame Why should I follow the sun’s rays Just because I did not succed in my own ways I won’t waste a second p[painting the sky Knowing that I only got one second to fly Why should I be ashamed of my mistakes When all they do is for their own sake I won’t cry out loud tonight Cause I know that all along I can see the light
