Row, Row, Your Boat

Same old places,
 sad, empty faces
  yet another lifetime alone
   love is just gone

Downward stares
 lonesome and scared
  void is all that's left
   were life once was kept

Reap my soul before I wake
 It's just a joke, it's all fake
  Life but a dream, no boat to row
   If I could just change the world, more love would show.
