Life

Why does the world have to be so uptight? I've been fighting a fight all my life Getting kicked even when I do what's right, And all I have to show are bruises and pains, Nothing was ever gained, I've never moved forward, always back, I've never got to see opportunity Even through a small crack, Nothing ever came my way, Nothing ever stayed, I would be given wings And dropped like a stone, Falling …

…Nothing ever came to me free, I had to work for everything in my life, Getting just enough To survive, Sometimes I feel like quitting the game, Every day It's the same, Sadness and depression around each corner, Worrying like there's raiders waiting at the border, But I hang on and still fight, Hope to someday see the light, I battle through the day and into the night, Just to see the beacon of light.
