Second Life
I wish I could re-live my life, and live anew
All my decisions seem to be wrong, no matter what I say or do
I realize and understand that my life is not perfect
But I can’t seem to find my problem, regardless how I search it
Evaluate and re-work it, neither do any good
Could it be that I’m not living my life as I know I should
I’ve been through the storm, through the rain
Suffered all of the hurt, endured the pain
But with everyday strain, this life is wrecking my brain
Why can’t this world remain, peaceful and calm
It’s as if Satan has crushed my heart in between both his palms
Why can’t I just move on, and forget the past
For some reason in my life, happiness just can’t last
Curse the day that my life was cast, deep in the depths of a sea of despair
A life so worrisome, a burden that I can no longer bear
So many times love has caused my heart to tear
No one with whom to share, my deep dark emotions
This thing called life, I live with lack of devotion
With all the corruptions of this dreadful world today
The only way to maintain is keep faith and pray
All I have is one wish to be granted for me,
That I actually be born again, and live life happy and abundantly
