Why Be Me, Would You Be Me?

I have to save face
make sure i don't fall from grace
As we all fall on bad times now and then 
but how e deal with the situation separates boys from men
but then again
maybe sometimes
its ok to cry
as your all world falls to your feet
if the light is so far away and help is so discrete
if every message god sends is so incomplete
maybe then its ok to share your fears
because for so many years
the only thing i have seen with my eyes is my own tears
hassle from every angle i'm looking
people so often spitting in my face i want to lye down as my back hurts from the 
constant ducking
