The world I've perceived
Is often deceived
By the tricking tongue
Of those I'm among
The thoughts of my own
Drift into unknown
The opinion I believe
Is the life I want to achieve
With a troubled mind
I long to find
A guiding light
To ease my plight
I look up into the clouds
And search through the crowds
For a friend with my key
To peace and equality
One with power to lock out
All those who scream
and those who shout
To spare my helpless ear
Of the hating horrors I hear
The endless trap I fall into
It stands nothing against you
My stone statue of stability
My path to tranquility
