Cry

You hurt me you hurt me and you don´t even know me.

you make me crawl on the floor, hide under the bed.

I´ve worked and I´ve worked, for so many dead hours,

I´ve aged, I´ve resigned more times than I admit.

Now I´m so tired I just want to cry

With lawyers and lies you blame what I´ve created,

try to steal what I made, what I love like a child,

throw dirt in my face, let my friends turn their backs on me,

make me the scapegoat in a game I don´t like.

I´m so angry I just want to cry

To run and to hide makes the strongest soul crazy,

but what´s more: I can´t run! I´m obliged to declare.

After three hours sleep waking noonish seems lazy,

The white feather sticks on my head like a flare.

I´m so lonely I just want to cry

Now I´ve grabbed my belongings and lift my head slowly

and walk to the door and try if it will open -

and there they are scowling because they are envious,

aiming their guns at my head to take what I can give.

The doubt is my frequent companion, how should I

know if the shadow I throw is the truth?

Your words, (thoughtless bullets,) tear into my heart,

open up wounds that don´t heal whatever I do.

I´m so damaged I just want to cry

I´m tired, I´m sick of the world that I live in,

I just want to stay put in my bed) till I cease.

but not even this to my kind will be granted,

we have to take on your war while we want peace.

I´m so frightened I can´t even
