How can you express what you're feeling
When words have no meaning at all?
How do you explain
The wonderous beauty
That constantly pushes itself
Against the film covering
Over their tainted-innocent eyes?
How do you explain to someone
That there is so much more
Waiting for us that the world does not show.
The world lies
And covers the life with its temporary thrills
That will never be quenched.
Tell me, how do you make someone understand
That if they would just trust you,
Believe in you,
Love you,
That they would, in fact, gain life
And realize the purpose, the meaning
And the beauty of their existance
Without affecting their own free will?
I just want them to love me
So that I can help them.
I plead with them, but they will not listen.
Please.
Can you tell me how, God?
"My child... This is why I cry.."
