The Realities of Life Are So Humanly Cold
We dance to the tune of man
See fear in the palms of our hands
Hold the candle as steady as we can
Move forward with our lives
Hear reasons, witness lies
The belly of the beast we feed
Power, wealth, tyranny and greed.
Grains of sand on a beach we are
Waves can come so near from so far
Do we see that life is not what it seems?
Our minds compensate with our dreams
Innocence dies at the foot of the stair
The climb gets harder as we bear
Crushing blows to the core of our souls
Life is seen through different eyes as we grow
The realities of life are so humanly cold
Perhaps the story of man should never have been told.
