Sanctuary IV
You know, I am mad and angry
Thanks to the government
We're like a nomadic family
We are moving from bad to worse
Every scheme, every plan I had
Nothing works some people tried to help
But to no avail
Our situation looks pale
I was glad to be born
But now I wished I was dying
No relief from my pain I am sighing
I can't let life pass me by
I got to get down and try
Work it out this lifetime
When looking down the road of blame
I look to my name
I carry my cross of shame
The truth is like a blood stain under your fingernails
The hardest whisper to hear is within
I guess my turn has come
You won't see me turn and run
I am standing my ground
I am not laying down with my face in the ground
I am not just a face in a crowd
I'm putting my pen to this page and help
People without a voice
To shout it loud
We're part of humanity and we are alive!
