I was going through the days

Aiming for perfection

Aiming for the sky

And getting lots of that

*

Then I made a mistake

It’s hard to admit it

Hard to deny it

It’s hard to explain

As a matter of fact

*

It wasn’t really my fault

But partly I guess

Not the worst result

If we strive for the best

**

Why?  Please tell me why

Do I take it all on myself

I pick up the world on my shoulders

Then I wonder why

I’m not getting any help

They stand by with perfect reason

it’s not their work

And it might not be for their health

I say look again

What about everybody else?

**

We all live together

We should work to share the wealth

My plan is a reaction

Really a clear knee jerk

Maybe they don’t believe my stories

Or in my cause

And what it’s worth

**

I was going through the days

Aiming for resurrection

Aiming not to die

And getting close to that

*

There was no mistake

It’s hard to admit it

Hard to deny it

It’s hard to explain

As a matter of fact

*

It’s clearly not my fault

Seemed like it I guess

Not the worst result

If we strive for the best

**

Why?  Please tell me why

Do we take it all on ourselves

We pick up the world on our shoulders

Then we wonder why

No one else will help

They stand by with perfect reason

Say it’s not their work

And it’s not about our health

I say look closely 

So that everybody gels
