Father Forgive Us

Oh, Father forgive us for our ignorance,
we're just misdirected children
searching for significance.
Blindly stumbling, tryna grasp our purpose
but our hands are too bloody and calloused.
We'll sell our dignity tryna catch these dreams,
only to realize we got cheated. Cuz characters
worth more than cash and even harder to gain back.

I like this Zohfar, nice deep qualities. We need to forgive ourselves, and to live from the Heart. Simple, but true.
