Wanting

I sit watching the world pass me by
Not knowing what I'm hiding inside
Don't know if I even have pride

The anger brings out the worst in me
Everything is grey, there's no light to see

I'm wanting to escape from what's within
Wanting to get rid of my sin
Wanting happiness
Instead of sadness
I want to get through this mess
God, I wish I can pass this test

Hoping to be treated right
Not living uptight
Wanting not to fight
And wanting the right man
Not wanting to be buried in the sand

This life could be perfect
Only if I'm not going to be
In misery
I don't want to be infected
by the corrupted

Wanting things to be smooth
Instead of being rough
Wanting to be well respected
Instead of being mistreaded
I'm not wanting to be defeated

Can't I have a normal and happy life
Just like everybody else?
I don't want the PAIN
And I don't want the STRIFE
And not wanting to fight
Am just wanting to fly
Up high in the sky
Like a kite
Swinging and swaying in the breaze
Across the ocean sea
