Am I going crazy? Or is it time for me to die?
Is your news supposed to make me happy or shall I break down and cry?
Put your head on my shoulder, listen to my heart beat, calling out to us who were once winners but now we face defeat..
If it is time for me to die, why do I make myself suffer? Oh my dear lord please make me tougher..
Rid my heart of evil disease, and show me the way in how to please, my dear Lord who created me, who loved, guided and protected me,
Who picked me up when I was to fall, who listened and answered my every call,
Who gave me wings so I could fly, swiftly above those clouds so high….
Maybe it is time for me to die, so please don’t commit the crime and then cry…instead don’t lose hope just try…and try.
