Breath For Life

What's life's offer, forgotten innocent hunger feeds Thirst within the soul questioning existing What is a man except all that he is His fight insane, death a reflected memory The struggle for hope and dreams fade Reality of life we pay our freedom Never free, just drama of societies killing Is every not suppose be equal to another The same we bleed red, to earth our dust returns Our insanity, like a wild ambition inside Consumed by life, drowned in a material world A forgotten past we live today's future Still our purpose we look not unto Only ourselves we think of, always wanting But unto our fellow man fuel heart's hatred His worth judged by words of appearance Love, like a orchestra in desert with no one to hear An inspirited being wanting its desired feeling But yet it is selfish to its own lust A sunset promise, life isn't that beauty But a myth as if a legend of time Just a dreamers world of possibilities eager Breath of life, I give just to be One must live first to appreciate breath for life
