everything i've seen in this world has not made me <feel as though i belong here> feel as though i belong in this mess that they call living <if you can call it that> famines, fires, rapes, and floods how could it be that were of the same being <i don't feel we're the same> and how long will it take for others to see that we're all the same <remove his burden from my back> /<from the darkness> comes out those who see a new beginning <we all need, to reconcile> for the crimes that we are all guilty of <we need to, work together>/  everything you are, in your own heart, reflects of your own image <the face looking back at you> will you be proud of what you see, or do you have fantasies, of grandeur and pride <you're not what you pretend to be> do you think its all a game, are you pristine in vain, or do you have a reason <you're not impressing me> have you gone on so long, you can no longer hold on, without your safety harness <made of your own self doubts> /chorus/ when the light fails to shine, i sometimes wonder have i gone blind. compassion is only met with despair, in a world we forgot how to care. the heart breathes simple thoughts unlike what we think we are not.

lyrics by jon.

In a world that becomes increasingly harsh as the hands of time pass us by, a real feeling of despair clouds over us all.  Many times I find myself thinking that I cannot be a part of the mess that is developing in society.  But as I look into the mirror at my own image, I see that I am no different from anyone else.  We all have the same doubts about ourselves, whether we choose to share them or not.  We often present an unhealthy image of ourselves to feel, or even become, more excepted in the norms of society.  Until we see that everyone is on the same side, with the same problems and the same doubts,  true unity will never exist.  Remove this burden from our backs.   -Jon
