I AM ALONE AND YET I AM NOT BY MYSELF,
MANY REACH OUT IN SEARCH OF WEALTH,

IT IS NOT FINANCIAL THE WEALTH WE SEEK,
BUT LOVE TO SHARE BY THE HOUR THE DAY THE WEEK.

I LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND SEE THE RAMPAGE OF TIME AND TIDE,
LOOK INTO MY EYES TO SEE THE YOUTH THAT IS STILL INSIDE,

LOOK AT MY BODY YOU WILL SEE THE SIGN OF AGE,
BECAUSE OF THIS MY HEART IS HEAVY WITH SORROW AND RAGE.

WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN NOW THAT I FEEL AT MY BEST,
THE KNOWLEDGE HAS FILLED MY LIFE FULL OF YEAST,

KNOW ME, SEE ME FOR WHO I AM NOT WHAT I HAVE BECOME,
I DO NOT WISH TO BE LOVED BY ALL, MAYBE BY ONE.

SO MUCH LOVE TO GIVE, TO RECEIVE FROM DEEP WITHIN,
TRY AS I MAY I CAN NOT STOP THIS THING CALLED TIME,

I HAVE TRIED AND TRIED TO GO FORWARD IN MY DIRECTION,
THE TEST THAT HE HAS SET ME HAS DIVIDED MY LIFE INTO SECTIONS

CIRCUMSTANCES DICTATE, I AM GUIDED BY THE PLIGHT OF OTHERS,
BE IT BY LOVE HATE COMPASSION OR AFFECTION,

UNSTEADY, TO THE RIGHT, TO THE LEFT, WHAT DIRECTION?
THE VOICE IN MY HEAD IS MINE AND IS FROM THE PAST,

TO OVERCOME THE PAST HAS MEANT DRAWBACKS AND GAINS,
BUT THIS VOICE IN MY HEAD STILL LINGERS AND REMAINS,
