Going Down

I reach out to the world around,
open my mouth....out comes no sound
how can you stand there....just watch me drown
watch me keep on, keep on going down...

Tell me was this part of your plan....
If it is I dont't quite understand,
can't you please just lend a hand,...
help me out.... point me to dry land....

Weren't you suppose to lead the way.....
teach me about life....all the prices we pay...
Say the things that families are suppose to say
instead of just pushing me away...
