Looking For Something

Looking for something
I open the book of trust 
I thought I could found 
The names of the ones 
I thought they were of truth 
So sad I was stoned in my vision
Then I washed my hands 
Off the bow of the devil 
I washed my feet off 
With the rain of hope 
Cos the book I trusted 
Was a lie 


Looking for something
I open the book of love 
Then it rained 
The cloud was blue 
Yet rainbow refuse to appear
In a cloud I thought 
Was to be covered in unity 
Suddenly I realize how the days 
Are short 
Despite the it  longer night 
Yet the world still hide ignorance

Looking for something
I open the book of humanity
Immediately darkness became 
The author of the day 
It powers overshadowed
The light I bright
So my air was polluted
In a world fair but not righteous
In a world far from truth 
Deep inside my soul
I feel the marks I wish
Not to read in human existence
Yet am still a human 
But I gain nothing if my 
Existence bears sorrows
To another 

Looking for something
I open my heart to life 
And then my eyes was open
To nature 
I saw  things I never understand
Before 
Cos the modern system was 
The program we behold 
To know what was true 
To me everything was not 
Meant to be a uniform
Life is unique
Humans are unique in diverse
Ways 
So why will I close my heart 
To life 
Why will I remain blind 
Why won't I see 
If am meant to 
What more do I need 
Yet am still looking 
For the true unique of 
Life yes am there is more to life
Yes am 
Looking for something
