It has often seemed to me that a lot is expected of me
The obligation upon me to be perfect seems unusually high
And many times I’ve wondered why

 

If this dream called life has any mercy, then please don’t forget me
And if you wouldn’t mind
Would you please try to explain to me precisely my destiny
And if this suffering should be mine
Show my path to put things right

 

But it all seems so hard
And I realise everyone is alone
And I wonder who I’m meant to be
Is there a place for me in this lonely world
I look up and say, “Will you care for me ?”

 

In this jungle I am forced to question everything for a reason
I know good and bad have their place but
Would you please try to explain to me why the Devil is the victory
Because your Holy ones never win
No, no, no – I’ve never seen you win

 

Bitter words you may say
But there’s much you cannot learn
Can you understand
Nobody can take the blame ?
