22

I’ve lost all my faith Meeting people who were double-faced Who caring nothing, except their money Even if I’m simple and naive Love leads me to believe That everyone will find the land of milk and honey I’m 22 years old Seems that I’m already big girl But I’m so far from realizing If I did wrong or right I can’t see the final light My future seems so unsurprising surprising I wanted to know Who I was, who I am But I’m afraid of what I’ve become Mistakes, fails and falls Like scars on my heart They prove nothing new Under the sun Almost lost all my faith But I’ve met people who ain’t double-faced Who caring ‘bout me, forgetting ‘bout money They helped my dreams, they are my stars I’ve found the land of milk and honey
