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
