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.
