More In Sorrow...

Every day that I breathe the breath of life
I face the hate, the pain, the strife
That invade my mind - and try to close my eyes
Enmity surrounds me - bitterness and animosity
But that's not what I want to be - and it fills my heart with grief

I can feel it in the air around us - a sense of hopelessness
The truth is hidden in the mess - and the youth are getting restless
I know that this world will fade - despite the words I have to say
But I can't just look away - or watch it all decay

The anger's there, the hatred's there, but when I look into your eyes
It's more in sorrow, than in anger, that I raise my voice
Sorrow, because I can't make your choice for you
Your respect is not enough for me - to sit silently
The things I say, I mean - it's not about what you think of me
It's not enough for me to die - just knowing that I tried
I don't want to see your life - destroyed by countless lies
I won't stand by - and watch you die

The anger's there, the hatred's there
The anger's there, the hatred's there, but when I look into your eyes
It's more in sorrow, than in anger, that I raise my voice
Sorrow, because I can't make your choice for you
